Is creatinine 94 μmol/L indicative of impaired renal function?

In both men and women, creatinine 94 μmol/L is within the normal range and does not indicate impaired renal function.
However, for elderly patients, a blood creatinine of 94 μmol/L may be considered high. Creatinine value is not only affected by controllable exogenous creatinine, but also by uncontrollable physiological factors such as body muscle content, age, etc. Clinically, it is necessary to improve the glomerular filtration rate examination to evaluate the renal function.
The normal reference value of creatinine in human serum or plasma specimen is 53~106 μmol/L for men and 44~97 μmol/L for women, so creatinine of 94 μmol/L belongs to the normal level, which does not suggest that renal function is impaired.
However, the value of blood creatinine cannot completely and accurately reflect the renal function, and the glomerular filtration rate needs to be further estimated according to the age and body weight, etc. For patients with different ages and body weights, the glomerular filtration rate corresponding to creatinine 94 μmol/L may be very different, which may affect the evaluation of the patient’s condition and further treatment.
Creatinine 94μmol/L is recommended to consult regular hospitals, and standardized examination and treatment under the guidance of physicians.
