Blood Tests Revealed Creatinine Level, Have Had Fractures, Impacted Kidneys. What Is The Reason?

Recent blood tests revealed Creatinine of 1.41 mg/dL and Glucose of 100mg/dL. There have been no problems previously with these items. I fell in late August and fracture 3 transverse process bones. The major point of impact was close to my left kidney. The ortho said there was not anything he could do for me. Is it possible, the increase in the Creatinine was a result of this fall, etc?

Hi, you have not revealed your age and body weight which are contributory to your present condition. Assuming that you are 40 years, and have a body weight of 70 kg, your Creatinine levels are not too worrisome, but would need follow up. A better way to know if kidneys are affected are by getting a test called GFR estimation by MDRD, and take the issue from there. GFR is the glomerular filtration rate, and estimate kidney function more accurately than only Serum Creatinine.
