Creatinine 1.29 , gfr 62,
My father had routine tests,along with kft : urea is normal, creatinine came 1.29 and gfr 62,other parameters of kft is normal,,,he is non diabetic, non smoker non alcoholic, he has hypertension but he takes amlo 5, for which the pressure is maintained at 130/80 to 138/88( varies during the day) . He is having vitamin b 12 and vitamin d deficiency from the reports, all other routine tests like lipid profile, lft, tsh, ecg are fine
Is there anything to be concerned about creatinine and gfr report?
Answers (3)
The decreased gfr is mostly related to his diabetes which might hav led to nephropathy and also, as Dr Harsha said, due to increasing age.
He needs regular creatinine followup and needs to avoid nephrotoxic drugs.

Hi
As we age beyond 40 years we lose 1ml/min GFR per year or around 10ml/min per decade.
Yes your father’s creatinine is mildly elevated.
Needs to be in follow up and requires additional work up.
