What Creatinine measures

A waste product from normal muscle breakdown that healthy kidneys filter out. The core marker of kidney function.

What a high Creatinine means, and common causes

A waste product that healthy kidneys clear is building up, which suggests the kidneys are filtering less well. It also runs higher in people with more muscle.

Common causes: Reduced kidney function from diabetes or high blood pressure, dehydration, a high-protein meal or supplement before the test, intense exercise, painkillers such as ibuprofen and diclofenac, and some antibiotics.

What a low Creatinine means, and common causes

A low creatinine is usually harmless.

Common causes: Low muscle mass, being underweight, pregnancy, liver disease, and long periods of bed rest.

Roughly 0.7 to 1.3 mg/dL for men and 0.6 to 1.1 mg/dL for women, because muscle mass differs.

It is mildly raised and needs a proper kidney review with an eGFR and a urine test, not panic. Dehydration and recent protein supplements can push it up temporarily.

It converts creatinine into an estimate of how well the kidneys filter, adjusted for your age and sex. It is a far better guide to kidney function than creatinine alone.

Paani theek se piyein, painkiller band karein aur doctor se milein. eGFR aur urine test se asli sthiti pata chalti hai.
