what is the normal range creatinine, serum mean
By Mayo Clinic Staff. Print. Results of the creatinine blood test are measured in milligrams per deciliter or micromoles per liter. The normal range for creatinine in the blood may be 0.84 to 1.21 milligrams per deciliter (74.3 to 107 micromoles per liter), although this can vary from lab to lab, between men and women, and by age.
A patient with a greater muscle mass will have a higher creatinine level. While a baseline serum creatinine of 2.0 mg/dL (177 Î¼mol/L) may indicate normal kidney function in a male body builder, a serum creatinine of 1.6 mg/dL (110 Î¼mol/L) can indicate significant renal disease in an elderly female.
