Introduction
Serum creatinine is a key indicator of kidney health. Elevated creatinine levels often signal that the kidneys are not functioning properly. Understanding the right serum creatinine treatment can help manage kidney conditions effectively and prevent complications. At Prabhakar Bhurke Clinic, patients receive expert care from a super specialist nephrologist for accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment.
What Is Serum Creatinine?
Serum creatinine is a waste product generated by muscle metabolism and measured through a blood test. Healthy kidneys filter creatinine efficiently, but when kidney function declines, creatinine levels increase.
Normal Serum Creatinine Levels
Typical ranges include:
Men: 0.7 to 1.3 mg/dL
Women: 0.6 to 1.1 mg/dL
Higher values may indicate kidney dysfunction or other underlying conditions.
