Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Serum creatinine is a test by which the ability of the kidney to clear impurities is calculated. If serum creatinine is at upper limit of normal then it does not necessarily mean kidney failure. Please get other kidney function tests done and also urinalysis done.

History of any previous illness or inflammation can also rise the serum creatinine levels to upper limit of normal. Please get a ultrasound scan abdomen done to know if there is any stone or infection causing the serum creatinine level to be at upper limits of normal. Rarely patients might not experience pain when there is stone in the kidney and this might go unnoticed. History of a co morbid condition like diabetes or hypertension is also important to be evaluated. Please do not worry.
