Creatinine and eGFR — Kidney Function — 60-Second Protocol

The protocol

Units	Creatinine mg/dL; eGFR mL/min/1.73m²
Standard range	Creatinine 0.6–1.3; eGFR > 60 considered normal
Optimal range	Creatinine 0.7–1.1 (men); 0.6–0.9 (women); eGFR > 90
<30	severe — urgent referral
30-59	moderate CKD — see clinician
60-89	mildly reduced — recheck and pair with urine ACR
eGFR >90	normal
Diet	moderate protein, low salt
Testing	add urine albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) for kidney health
Hydration	≥2 L water daily
Medication	review NSAIDs with clinician

Full transcript

If you lift, your creatinine can read high without your kidneys being in any trouble. Serum creatinine and the calculated eGFR estimate filtration rate, and heavily muscled adults run higher creatinine — read it with body composition in mind. eGFR above ninety is normal. Sixty to eighty-nine is mildly reduced: recheck and pair it with a urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio. Thirty to fifty-nine is moderate and goes to a clinician; below thirty is an urgent referral. Two litres of water a day, moderate protein, low salt, and review any regular painkillers with a clinician. agegen.ai. Generate your prime age! ~~ Mr. Age
