My Doctor just called and said that my Creatinine levels are high. My normal (Canadain) is 97, the medical normal is 170 and my levels are 617. He feels that this may have something to do with Crestor which I take for High Cholesterol. I am to go of the meds for 10 days and then be retested to see what happens. My symptoms are severe chronic hip, and leg pain. I also have kidney stones and medullary sponge kidneys. So I am a bit confused as he never said anything about kidney problems which are what I have read about here. A bit concerning. Was this comment helpful?Yes

I have had some recent blood tests done which all came back negative, however, my doctor said that my creatinine levels are currently 104 so she would like to do another test in 3 weeks time. She has informed me not to worry, however I feel until I have the next test done i will not be able to rest. Was this comment helpful?Yes

Initially 252. But I had a very severe pain due to a kidney stone in my urinary track. I was prescribed a pain killer. After taking a few of the pain killer pills my blood test results showed my creatinine went up to 490. After a couple of days without the pain killers my blood test showed that my creatinine level was 384. Was this comment helpful?Yes

I just checked on my blood level creatinine level from last August 2011 it was 4.22. Saw my Urologist yesterday and he said there was nothing to report of a "spot" they saw from an earlier Ultrasound, and he wants to have another Ultrasound done in August 2012. I have had multiple gout attacks for the past 4 years and I believe my leg aches and gout episodes are caused by the failing right kidney. The doctor said that there is no connection between kidney function and gout. I totally disagree. The kidneys are supposed to rid the body of the urea acid which causes the gout. Am taking daily a pill of Colchicine to relieve gout aches. Entire toes joints on right foot are half numb always.
