What is the normal pediatric range for creatinine levels?

0.1-0.3
0.3-0.7
0.7-1.0
1.0-1.5

The correct answer is: 0.3-0.7

The normal pediatric range for creatinine levels typically falls between 0.3 and 0.7 mg/dL. This range reflects the expected levels of creatinine, a waste product produced from muscle metabolism, in children. In pediatric patients, these values can be lower compared to adults due to smaller muscle mass, and they can also vary based on age and body size. Maintaining knowledge of normal ranges is crucial for identifying renal function and diagnosing potential kidney issues in children. Values outside this range might indicate impaired kidney function or other medical conditions, thereby necessitating further assessment. Understanding the normal range helps clinicians differentiate between acceptable lab results and those that may signal a need for further investigation or intervention in a pediatric patient.
