Brief Answer:
Everything seems ok,but want to find out why your creatine is 59!

Detailed Answer:
Hi my dear,

Please understand that my comments are given based on acceptable normal range. I should have the reference range of your lab so I could interpret the results better.

Anyway, from what you are reporting:
ESR is 4 falls within normal range up to 15 for females
Creatine is 59 : I think here is regarding eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) is a bit low
CRP acute phage reactant of 1 falls within normal range (lower than 1)
Ferritin 68 falls within normal range 11-307

May I know if:
- do you suffer of any kidney problem?
- any medication taken on regular basis?
- any other disease you might have?

Everything is ok, but I must understand why your Creatine is 59, that's why I need those information!
Thank you!

Detailed Answer:
Hi back my dear,

If you have your lab reports, you can take a clear photo and send to me. Can upload by clicking at the bottom end (where it says "upload a file") or can send at the following e-mail address:

YYYY@YYYY

with subject line: "Attn. to Dr.Fatbardha Sejdini"

With regards to CRP acute phase is reactant, this is indicating whether an accute inflammation is present. It is supposed to be lower than 1, so yours is within normal range.

Looking forward to have the lab reports in!
