<human>: I am 58 year male, caucasian. I have better that average medical knowledge as I am a veterinarian. I have had two creatine tests done the last month. The first value was 1.28. The second value 3 weeks later was 1.24. Normal value from Emory university lab is .7 to 1.2. Associated with the creatinine of 1.28 my BUN was 15, normal value is 8 to 25. The GFR was calculated to be 58. Do I have kidney disease?
<bot>: HI there, as you have rightly stated both your creatinine levels are beyond the normal range. Along with it your GFR is reduced, the normal level being between 90-120ml/min. The decreased GRF along with rinsing creatinine does indicate that you are going into chronic renal failure. Tho it is not absolute, but you do need to get a renal profile done and visit your general physician who should be able to guide you to the next course of action. Do take care.
