Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
Normal levels of creatinine in the blood are approximately 0.6 to 1.2mg/dL in adult males and 0.5 to 1.1 mg/dL in adult females even though these values may vary with laboratory.Levels that reach 2mg/dl may mean severe kidney impairment.Other causes of high blood creatinine may include: High BP, Diabetes, certain drugs, kidney infections, abnormal muscle breakdown and urinary tract obstruction.I will suggest you see a Nephrologist for investigation. Kidney problems are not to be neglected.
Hope my answer will help you
Regards
