Hello,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Creatinine upper normal range is 1.5.
Your report is on higher level of normal range.
Creatinine is a product of breakdown of protein in body.
If previous day you had some strenous work or exercise or tiredness there occurs breakdown of protein in muscle causing rise in creatinine.
To confirm some kidney problems other factors like facial or leg edema, decreased urine output or some other factors should be present.
I would like to advice you to repeat the test after 2 weeks and see the report.
If it same or decreased then nothing to be worried about.
If it is higher than now, you will need further workup to see for the reason of worsening kidney functions.
Hope it helps.
Thank you
