What Does My Kidney Function Test Report Indicate?
Question: I have assay for kidney function in blood sample as follow :
CREATININE (ENZYMATIC) = 1.35 mg/dL
UREA = 25 mg/dl
GLYCOSYLATED HEMOGLOBIN (HBA1C) (COBAS) = 4.73864 %
What is the standard range as international reference for above assays?
Do you think that I have an initial signs for kidney failure ?

Brief Answer:
Normal
Detailed Answer:
hi,
the reports submitted above are normal.All over the world, the creatinine between 0.6 mg/dl to 1.2 mg/dl as the normal. Kidney can not be assessed only once at one pint of time to tell you whether the kidneys are normally functioning or not. It can done two or three times when ever the creatinine is at the upper limit of normal or at slight above the normal We also need to see whether the supportive evidences for renal functions alike complete urine examination for the presence of red blood cells, pus cells, proteinuria etc ( laboratory tests) . Also we need to see the structural abnormality in the kidney in ultrasound examination ( imaging methods) . Above all, We need to know the " clinical details" ( like symptoms and other history) in order to tell some one whether the kidneys are functioning properly or not. So, just a value doesnt mean any thing. We can not inform some one based on a single " value " about the dysfunction of a major organ. Even for staging kidney disease, we require above all information( clinical, laboratory and imaging methods). Your GHb test is well with in normal limits

Dear Doctor,
Thanks for your reply, Still my concern that CREATININE is high and may be give a sign that kidney functions in question ?
Kindly find following Ultra-Sound report :
PELVI-ABDOMINAL ULTRASOUND Normal homogenous echopattern of liver parenchyma with no focal hepatic lesions or intra-hepatic biliary radicles dilatation. P.V. and C.B.D. are within normal calibers. Gall bladder is of normal size, shape and wall thickness with no calculi or mud inside. Normal size and echopattern of the spleen. Both kidneys are of normal size, shape and echogenecity with no calculi or back pressure effect. Pancreas and para-aortic area are free. No ascites. Normal filling and wall thickness of the urinary bladder with no calculi or masses. Normal dimensions of the prostate with intact capsule and no focal lesions. Both seminal vesicles are free. Prevoiding urine volume = 266 cc Post voiding volume= 10 cc. OPINION Normal pelvi-abdominal ultrasound.
Kindly Find urine examination :
A.URATES CRYSTALS = FEW
ASPECT = HAZY
BACTERIA = FEW
BILIRUBIN = Negative
BLOOD = Negative
CELLS = Few
COLOR = PALE YELLOW
LEUCOCYTES = Negative
MUCUS THREADS = Few
NITRITE = Negative
PROTEIN = Negative
U.PH = 6
SPECIFIC GRAVITY (MB) = 1.01
UROBILINOGEN = 0.2 EU/mL

Brief Answer:
normal
Detailed Answer:
As such all the reports are normal including ultrasound. Presence of even few bacteria in the urine may be abnormal in males. You better get urine culture done so that we can discuss more regarding this.
In fact, you don't have much problem with the kidneys and you can as well repeat the creatinine after few months.

The Hematologist said to me that I have to refer to kidney expert.
Please see my CBC :

Brief Answer:
OK
Detailed Answer:
As you are not a a smoker and still you have higher HB, you need to check with physician for that. AS the dermatologist says that there is no obvious problem or he couldn't determine the skin lesions, you can wait and see.
Mean while you can monitor your health test frequently once in 6 months.

Brief Answer:
yes
Detailed Answer:
kidneys are linked to Hb as the hormone which carries the iron to red blood cells to synthesize HB is produced by the kidneys only. But when the kidneys are defunct, Hb would start falling. The main stimulus for high Hb is low oxygen. Invariably people who smoke or in high altitudes, working in less oxygen environments would gradually develop high Hb . As such men will have high HB and you can frequently check it up to see that its high so that you can get further investigated. It has no link to allergies. A low platelet count can lead to contusions. Do you have any bleeding disorder before. Do you lose blood in excess even for trivial injuries.? Please check once
yes
