Serum creatinine
Hello doctor. My mother,46, had some blood tests done because we found out her Hb was low. Out of the several tests done like serum iron, Vit B12, TIBC, PBS one was Sr Creatinine. Her creatinine was 0.55. Reference values were (0.6-1.4). Isn't this slightly lower than the given reference range?
Doctor assured us that it's normal.
After all the tests, Doctor diagnosed her with IDA. But I'm worried because her Sr creatinine was slightly low.
