Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Serum creatinine is more important than urinary creatinine. Get a blood urea nitrogen test done for better opinion.
2. Creatinine levels vary in body muscle mass and protein intake.
3. Not to worry. Creatinine alone wont be helpful. Other tests and GFR needs to be interpreted too.
4. Based on tests done, I can advise you further.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
