Question

I'm a bit worried about my creatinine level, which is 1.2 mgdL. Does this mean there's a kidney issue? What would be considered a normal creatinine level? Please let me know.

I'm a bit concerned about my recent lab results. I had both an LFT and KFT done, and while my LFT is normal, I'm worried about my creatinine level, which came back at 1.1. The normal range they gave me is between 0.4 to 1.4, so should I be concerned about it being at the higher end? Also, my uric acid level is 7.2, with normal ranges listed as 4.8 to 7.5. I noticed my urine is yellow in the morning, but it seems normal throughout the day as long as I stay hydrated. I had chickenpox last December, but that's all cleared up now. What do you suggest I do about these results? I've attached my KFT and LFT reports for you to take a look.
