Elevated Creatinine Levels

2017-12-07 19:11:26
I have extreme health anxiety. Almost debilitating. So, I often think things are overlooked because of that. I had bloodwork done and everything was normal except Creatinine Level. The Dr. did not seem concerned. All other Kidney tests were normal. What could cause this if not Kidney Disease? Urine Creatinine 329mg Creatinine 1.3mg Urine PH 5.2 Protein Creat Ratio .04mg Hemoglobin Negative Leukocyte Negative Protein 12mg BUN 13

Creatinine can increase in cases of high protein diet, increased muscle breakdown, increased muscle mass etc. This is pretty much ok. But creatinine is a crude indicator of function. Use online apps to calculate ur GFR
