Normal creatinine levels are 0.5 to 1.2 mg/dL in healthy adults. Above that range, the lab results could indicate that your kidneys may not be functioning adequately. Is your creatinine level typically over 1.2? Young or middle-aged adults who are muscular or athletic may have higher creatinine levels due to greater muscle mass. Older patients who are dehydrated or have infections may have elevated creatinine levels as well. Inform your board certified PS and he/she will determine if this slight elevation is reason to postpone the BBL.

Dear Compassionate775203, your lab results should be under control prior to elective procedure. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
