Interprete test results (blood, plan, diet, kidney)

[PacoMartin]

I got some test results back from a recent test and I have no clue how to Interprete them
9/6/2017 -> 3/29/2019
EXT Creatinine Urine mg/dL (137.0 -> 203.0)
MICROALBUMIN/CREATININE RATIO mg/g (5 -> 8)
MICROALBUM.,U,RANDOM mg/L (6.6 -> 15.7)

I found the following explanation online but the metrics are completely different. One quote seems to indicate that these results are not mg/dl. I can't tell how serious the results are.

Results of the creatinine blood test are measured in milligrams per deciliter or micromoles per liter. The normal range for creatinine in the blood may be 0.84 to 1.21 milligrams per deciliter (74.3 to 107 micromoles per liter), although this can vary from lab to lab, between men and women, and by age. Since the amount of creatinine in the blood increases with muscle mass, men usually have higher creatinine levels than do women.

Creatinine (Urine)
This test measures the level of a substance called creatinine in your urine.

Results are given in grams per day (g/day) or millimoles per day (mmol/day). Normal results depend on your muscle mass and age. Ranges differ for men and women:

Male: 0.8 to 1.8 g/day (7 to 16 mmol/day)
Female: 0.6 to 1.6 g/day (5.3 to 14 mmol/day)
Higher levels may mean that you have kidney disease.

Creatinine levels in blood & urine are correlated with protein in your diet and with kidney function.


Microalbumin is normally excreted only in very small amounts, if any at all. Presence of microalbumin in the urine of a diabetic signifies a strong possibility of diabetic kidney disease, particularly if it's rising over time.


This may help:



Using ACE inhibitors tends to slow down (maybe prevent) the progression of diabetic kidney disease.
