Detailed explanation-1: -Creatinine is measured in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). Here are the normal values by gender: 0.7 to 1.3 mg/dL for adult males. 0.5 to 1.1 mg/dL for adult females.
Detailed explanation-2: -But sometimes, routine blood or urine tests can reveal low (or high) levels of creatinine. Normal levels vary according to your body size and muscle mass. For example, a normal range for men is between 0.6 and 1.2 mg/dl and a normal range for women is between 0.5 and 1.1 mg/dl.
Detailed explanation-3: -Creatinine levels in the blood can vary depending on age and body size. A creatinine level of greater than 1.2 for women and greater than 1.4 for men may be an early sign that the kidneys are not working properly.
Detailed explanation-4: -A creatinine level gives a very good idea of how well your kidney is working. A very well functioning renal transplant should have a serum creatinine of around 100 to 120 umol/L.
