[|Human|] My husband had lab work done last week & the doctor call to tell us his creatine level was high. He is going to see another doctor Monday. What should the level be? His was 3.8, What damage does it do to the kidneys & will he have to have dialysis?
[|AI|]  Normal levels of creatinine in the blood are approximately 0.6 to 1.2 milligrams (mg) per deciliter (DL) in adult males. So your husband creatine levels are on higher side.at first it is good to know the main cause of the raised levels. You did not mention whether your husband is hypertensive or diabetic. Kidney failure is the main cause for high levels of creatine. Going for dialysis is better option after the opinion from neurologist after thorough investigations.
