Maybe a stupid question but i read on here about creatinine levels being 4.2, 2.2 etc etc.  When i have my bloods done my creatinine levels are given to me as 212 for example or 191.  Is it just a case of diving by 100 so 212 would become 2.12 ?  thanks in advance  p.s. i live in the UK

    Hi Matt, do you have any idea about what other posters on here say for example their creatinine is 2.2 or 3.5 ?  Would you assume that it is 220 or 350 ?

    What is your EGFR ?
