Hello, I am a 44 year old african american female. I recently visited the ER with left lower abdomen pain. CT of abdomen and pelvis was negative. My creatinine level was 1.4, with a GFR score of 52. I am currently taken lotrel for hypertension, and it is well controlled. I have had 3 C-Sections, and a hysterectomy. Do I need to follow up with my primary concerning these results soon, or can it wait until my annual physical in october?

 Hi Mandel,
Your creatinine is elevated and your GFR is slightly lower than normal. This would be defined as renal insufficiency.
I would recommend you see your doctor sooner rather than later to have this further evaluated.
Best wishes.
