Hi Love 101cats,

Creatinine blood test measures the level of creatinine in the blood. Creatinine is a waste product that forms when creatine, which is found in your muscle, breaks down. Creatinine levels in the blood can provide your doctor with information about how well your kidneys are working.

Best bet is to ring up your GP and ask her to explain your individual results to you. We are here to support, but your exact results should be explained to you by your GP or consultant.

Stay safe and let us know what she has to say.

Positive Thoughts!
