The more muscle a person has, the more creatinine they produce. Levels of creatinine in the blood reflect both the amount of muscle a person has and their amount of kidney function. Most men with normal kidney function have approximately 0.6 to 1.2 milligrams/deciliters (mg/dL) of creatinine. Most women with normal kidney function have between 0.5 to 1.1 mg/dL of creatinine. Women usually have lower creatinine levels than men because women, on average, have less muscle than men. Other factors that may affect the level of creatinine in the blood include body size, activity level and medications.
Results are used to calculate another measurement: your GFR, or Glomerular Filtration Rate. ... The normal range for serum creatinine (in the blood) is usually between 0.6 and 1.3 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) although it varies between labs, between men and women, and ...our doctor can calculate the GFR based on gender, age, body size, and blood creatinine level. The formula used in clinical practice is called the Cockcroft-Gault equation: ... Stage, Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR). 1, over 90 mL/min (normal).
