Is Creatinine Value Of 10.98 A Cause For Concern?

default
Posted on Fri, 8 Jul 2016
Question: Hi...My brother in Law (Age-37 years) is donating one of his kidneys to my wife (Age-40 years). A number of tests are performed but in "24 hour urine Protine and creatinine" Creatinine value is 10.98 and is lower than the Normal reference range of 14-26. While Protine is 0.12 and is within the normal reference range of 0.04 -0.15. Is lower value of Creatinine is a problem? Creatinine value in blood KFT is 0.8

Brief Answer:
Not a problem

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

I want to clarify that your brother in law is your wife's brother. Which means that your wife is receiving kidney from her own brother? It is a good thing as there will be a good HLA (genetic match), so the kidney will have a good life and the requirement of immunosuppression during and post-transplant will be lesser.

Lesser creatinine is seen in individuals with less body muscle. This is not an issue and he can safely give his kidneys to his sister. Increased protein loss in urine and raised blood creatinine is a contraindication to donate kidneys. If all other parameters like blood sugar, HIV,HbsAG, Kidney size, etc are normal then he can safely donate kidneys

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
