Normal range : Male:0.2-0.7 mg/dL
Female: 0.3-0.9 mg/dL
Use Serum creatine levels may be signifificantly increased in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, dermatomyositis, myasthenia gravis, starvation, muscular dystrophies, and trauma.

Interpretation
Increased In High dietary intake (meat), Destruction of muscle. Hyperthyroidism (this diagnosis is almost excluded by
normal serum creatine) Active RA, Testosterone therapy
Decreased In Not clinically signifificant, Drugs (e.g., TMP/SMX, cimtidine, cefoxitin)
