Varying level of Creatine

2 Replies

Can your creatine vary when tested from different labs?

Example last test in July was 0.9 with a range of 0.4-1.0

tested in June at another lab and was 0.7 with a range of 0.5-1.2

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks :)

In a word, Yes. Lab values may vary slightly from lab to lab. You shouldn't see great differences in the results if the results are to be considered valid. To help you further with this, look at labtestsonline.org

This will provide you with a good base of information for values and reasons for the testing being done.

Yes your CREATININE lab results can vary between labs, how well your hydrated etc. Yours appear to be spot on. If they reach over 1.5 then it would be best to seek a consult with a specialist. Good Luck
