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.
