Adults (18–64)Female0.5 – 1.1mg/dL

Also reported in: µmol/L.Conversion factor: 1 µmol/L = 88.496 mg/dL.

Critical (Panic) Values

Critical High: > 10 mg/dL. Values outside these limits require immediate clinical attention.

Common Causes of High Creatinine

Acute kidney injury (AKI): dehydration, sepsis, medications (NSAIDs, contrast dye)Chronic kidney disease (CKD): diabetes, hypertension, glomerulonephritisRhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown releasing creatinine and myoglobin)

Common Causes of Low Creatinine

Low muscle mass (elderly, malnutrition, muscle-wasting diseases)Pregnancy (increased GFR and plasma volume dilute creatinine)Liver disease (reduced creatine synthesis)
