Hello Mr. XXXXXXX and welcome to Ask a Doctor.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The normal serum creatinine level for a male adult is 0.7-1.3
So you do not have to worry.
I need to apologize to you. Your question came in yesterday; however, I just found it in my list today.

Hi Doctor,
Thank your for the reply.I had another question.Good to know its in the normal range.However,since its on the higher side of the normal range do I need to follow any dietary restriction in order to maintain the normal level?

Brief Answer:
You would not need a special diet

Detailed Answer:
Welcome back Mr. XXXXXXX

If you are healthy with a healthy lifestyle, you would not need a special diet. Get a full night's sleep, healthy diet, exercise 5 times a week and do not use tobacco or any illicit drugs.

If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer.

Wish you good health.
