Question

Help answer this question below.

I was told my creatine level is 1.5. I've had a sonogram of my kidneys and bladder, all were negative. I don't have high blood pressure, high cholesterol or diabetes. What else could cause this? They also said my kidneys are only functioning 43%.

    I am a 52 year old African American woman. I consider myself to be very fit. I weigh 150-153, exercise at 4-5 times a week. I am a fitness instructor, personal trainer. There is no history, that I know of kidney disease in my family. I am scheduled to see the kidney doctor in a couple of day.

    Creatine or Creatinine? Assuming the latter:
    What are "normal" blood creatinine levels?

    Normal levels of creatinine in the blood are approximately 0.6 to 1.2 milligrams (mg) per deciliter (dl) in adult males and 0.5 to 1.1 milligrams per deciliter in adult females. (In the metric system, a milligram is a unit of weight equal to one-thousandth of a gram, and a deciliter is a unit of volume equal to one-tenth of a liter.)

    Muscular young or middle-aged adults may have more creatinine in their blood than the norm for the general population. Elderly persons, on the other hand, may have less creatinine in their blood than the norm. Infants have normal levels of about 0.2 or more, depending on their muscle development. A person with only one kidney may have a normal level of about 1.8 or 1.9. Creatinine levels that reach 2.0 or more in babies and 10.0 or more in adults may indicate the need for a dialysis machine to remove wastes from the blood.

    Certain drugs can sometimes cause abnormally elevated creatinine levels.

    How old are you? There are other genetic disorders that can affect kidney function; have you had any other tests done?
