Posted on Sat, 19 Apr 2014
Question: XXXXXXX is my brother in law. He is 23 years old, and his creatinine levels are 1.2, which our doctor says is very high for his age. He is slightly overweight for his height. He drinks sufficient water, but the high creatinine levels are causing worry. We would like to know what can be the cause of this, and what should XXXXXXX do to be in good health. Thanks in advance.
