I'm a bit worried because my serum creatinine level came back as 1.5 in my report. Does this mean something's wrong? I saw a urologist, but they didn't mention anything about it. Should I be concerned?

A serum creatinine level of 1.5 mgdL is slightly elevated, as the normal range is typically 0.6-1.2 mgdL, but it's not alarmingly high; the urologist might not have flagged it as abnormal since it's mildly elevated, but it's essential to monitor kidney function and recheck creatinine levels to ensure it doesn't indicate underlying kidney issues.
