Have you done any creatinine levels before this
Pls do urine routine as well
Creatinine level is in normal range but u need to check it again after a month to see if it's increasing
Kidney scan is a subjective thing..grade 1 renal parenchymal changes means there is some change in the texture of the kidney.
Pls upload the whole report.

Hi
Creatinine level depends on your muscle mass, recent strenuous workouts, hydration status and maybe on higher normal range even if kidneys are normal.
Ultrasound showing grade 1 changes may or may not be significant as it can be seen even if you are dehydrated.
