A creatinine level of 1.5 mg/dL can be considered elevated, especially for someone with a single kidney. Normal creatinine levels typically range from about 0.6 to 1.2 mg/dL, depending on various factors like muscle mass and hydration status. It's important for individuals with one kidney to monitor their kidney function closely, and a persistent level of 1.5 may warrant further evaluation by a healthcare provider. Regular check-ups and tests can help assess overall kidney health.

What causes low GFR?

GFR means glomerular filtration rate. It is a way to measure the kidney's function. In adults the GFR should be somewhere between 100 and 130, while in children it should be about 110. Since the GFR is a measure of the kidney's function it is used to help classify kidney disease. GFR > 90 with no signs of kidney damage like proteinurea = normal GFR > 90 with signs of kidney damage = Category 1 GFR 60-90 = Category 2 (mild) GFR 30-60 = Category 3 (moderate) GFR 30-15 = Category 4 (severe) GFR < 15 = Category 5 (kidney failure)


What is the best way to manage low clearance in polycystic kidney disease?

If you're asking about creatinine clearance, it depends on what you refer to as 'low'. A normal clearance is 0.8-1.4 mg/dl in males and 0.6-1.1 mg/dl in women, so if your creatinine is in that range ( i.e 'low'), no intervention is necessary.If you're referring to an elevated creatinine and therefore 'low' function, it depends on your level and how your body is responding to it. Every patient is different, and while some patients need dialysis intervention at say, 5 mg/dl, some can hold off until 9 mg/dl. This also depends on your age, race, and sex. A GFR (glomerular filtration rate) can be calculated based on the above mention cavits and your creatinine value and give you a estimate of your kidney function. At a GFR of 30, you should see a nephrologist. At 20, you can be evaluated for transplant. At 15, you should be on dialysis or actively seeking a transplant.There are many websites with GFR calculators, though you should always consult your nephrologist.MKidney Transplant Nurse and PKD patient
