                                    Brief Answer:
Normal
Detailed Answer:
All the other reports are also normal. creatinine can vary any between 0. 6 to 1.4 many a times and can be considered as normal though the Creatine is not wonderful marker of kydney function. Albumin indicates a good nutritional status. I would like to know whether you gave any other health issue so that reports can be interpreted appropriately. As such reports are normal but the clinical situation can determine whether you need to consult s nephrologist or not
