Jason

can't you ask your doc??

as DR C pointed out...your creatinine is a tad high..but depends upon the
limits of the lab used...how much muscle you have etc...

creatinine can be a tad higher in muscular men...in fact..acceptable levels
are higher in men than women..

what "kind" of kidney disease as a child?? likely will not mean much at
your age..

potassium is a tad low...normal being 3.5-5.5...again..only your doc can
comment upon whether is should be higher
