- radley 5mo agoIF you tell your doc, they can adjust their interpretation of the test. Edit: see comment below (i.e. better to stop taking creatine at least a week before a test).
- llm_nerd 5mo agoThere is a much more accurate test called Cystatin C that can be used instead, and it isn't subject to being thrown off by creatine, muscle mass, etc.
- tensor 5mo agoIf you have a good dr they'll just ask you to stop taking it for two weeks, then do a blood test.
