Question: I have a creatinine level of 120 umol/L and an eGFR of 63. Is this cause for concern?
Brief Answer:
Creatinine and eGFR level explained below in detail.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The normal range of creatinine is 60 μmol/L to 110 μmol/L.
The level of 120 μmol/L is slightly higher than normal.
A normal eGFR level should be from 90 to 120 mL/min/1.73.
GFR decreases with age.
Your results may indicate a kidney disease.
I suggest to do a kidney ultrasound and a visit at a gastrologist for further evaluation and specific treatment.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
