First let me guide you to look at something about creatinine.
Creatinine is a waste product metabolized by muscles in our bodies. Under some certain conditions, the level of creatinine is mainly determined by the functions of Glomerulus Filtration. The certain conditions include both the stability in intake of exogenous creatinine and the constant in generation amount of endogenous creatinine.
In those certain conditions mentioned above, creatinine levels can reflect the functions of glomerulus filtration as well as the situation of kidney damages. Then, what are the normal creatinine levels in blood?
The normal serum creatinine range for men is between 0.5 to 1.5mg/dL, while in women, the range is nearly the same or a little bit lower. And creatinine levels usually reach the peak summit in the twenties and then begin to decline again as the years go by.
Another case is that a person who has only kidney may have a normal creatinine level of 1.8 or 1.9. Creatinine levels of 2.0 in babies and 10.0 or more in adults may indicate severe kidney damages or renal failure.
Although creatinine level of 1.5 is a little bit high, if you are asymptomatic, that is to say you are having not any symptoms in your body, generally there will be no much severe problems with your kidneys. At this time you should use other inspections so as to ascertain your kdineys’ real conditions.
So, creatinine levels measurement is only the first step to find out whether your kidneys are well or not. In fact, Creatinine Clearance is another better assessment of your kidney functions And creatinine clearance is usually done with a urine specimen that are collected in 24 hours. This assessment involves both the serum creatinine as well as the creatinine in your urines.
We can get the conclusions that creatinine level of 1.5 usually does not indicate kidney failure. It usually needs to combine with other measurement such as Creatinine Clearance and others so that we could have a accurate comprehension on kidneys.
