Creatinine (Serum) — Normal Range, Meaning & Price in Mohali

Q: What does an abnormal Creatinine result mean?

High: Kidneys not filtering efficiently. In diabetics, this rises later than Urine ACR — by the time creatinine is elevated, significant nephropathy is already present. This is why Gini tests Urine ACR first. Low: Low creatinine in older people or those with low muscle mass can be misleading — eGFR is more accurate. (See full clinical interpretation in the table above.)

Normal Ranges

With the Honest Explanation

Reference ranges vary between laboratories. This is not a quality issue — it is because each lab calibrates its instruments and methods using different populations, reagents, and equipment. A result of 5.5 at one lab may show as slightly different at another. What matters is: (1) always using the same lab for serial monitoring, (2) understanding your trend over time, not just one reading. Gini's ranges are calibrated on our specific instruments and validated monthly against international reference samples. Read the full explanation →

Result	Range	Clinical Meaning
Normal (men)	0.7–1.2 mg/dL	Normal kidney filtration
Normal (women)	0.5–1.0 mg/dL	Normal kidney filtration
Mildly elevated	1.2–2.0 (men) / 1.0–1.5 (women)	Reduced kidney function — monitor closely
Significantly elevated	Above 2.0 mg/dL	Significant kidney impairment

Indian-Specific Context

Indians develop diabetic kidney disease at lower blood sugar levels than Western patients. Creatinine alone is not sensitive enough for early diabetic nephropathy screening — Urine ACR detects damage 5–10 years earlier.

Result Interpretation

What Your Result Means

If Your Result Is High

Kidneys not filtering efficiently. In diabetics, this rises later than Urine ACR — by the time creatinine is elevated, significant nephropathy is already present. This is why Gini tests Urine ACR first.

If Your Result Is Low

Low creatinine in older people or those with low muscle mass can be misleading — eGFR is more accurate.

Price & Why Accuracy Matters

More Than a Lab — A Hospital Lab

Gini's Creatinine (Serum) costs ₹100. Budget standalone labs charge less. The difference is not just equipment — it is what happens when your result is abnormal.

At a standalone lab, you get a report. At Gini, if your Creatinine is significantly abnormal, our team flags it to Dr. Anil Bhansali's office. You are not alone with a concerning number.

This is what a hospital lab means vs a standalone diagnostic centre. More on Gini's lab quality →
