Right then, this is something I can comment on, because my wife is a senior consultant biochemist, and deals with this rubbish every day.
Creatnine is an unreliable marker of renal function, A creatine reading of around 60 - 120 would be considered normal. eGFR is a better measure with >90 being normal, this measure corrects for height and weight.
Normal range for Alkaline Phosphatase is 30 - 90. High Alk Pho will result in bone pain and may be associated Vit D deficiency or liver problems, though you would expect other liver enzymes to be abnormal, or the patient (you) show symptoms of jaundice.
Any questions, ask away. She loves this kind of stuff, and tends to be removed from it now, so will be happy to offer a very professional opinion.
I recently had a few kidney tests flagged. I wasn’t massively worried as I’m just in the red, but according to your range I am further in the red on EGFR compared to the report.Creatnine is an unreliable marker of renal function, A creatine reading of around 60 - 120 would be considered normal. eGFR is a better measure with >90 being normal, this measure corrects for height and weight.

Creatinine - 131 (Healthy range - 66 - 120)
EGFR - 55 (Healthy range > 60)
Does this mean I’m in the brown stuff? Any tips apart from drinking more water?
