I AM PANIC.

This is kinda high but some labs would have 1.4 as the top end of normal for a female...

To test your kidneys you need a GFR test (glomerular filtration rate). A one off high serum (blood) creatinine may just mean you ate a big steak or exercised too much

1. Get a retest
2. Get  GFR done

well, i am vegeterian so not eating any steaks ... and unfortunately i do not work out at all , I was just about starting getting into this walking plan ... I was searching in the internet what can help to clean the kidney and read that nettle is very goods and also vegtable juice like carrot and cellery... so I went yesterday immediately after got these bad result, bought carrot , cellery , tea nettle and started to dring it , I made a bottle for the office with the tea nettle as well and I intend to drink it all day long, my dr. doesn't beleive in these ways so much but I hpe it will help, what else can I do ? what if there are no other drugs good for me right now ?(since I am trying to get pregnent) ?

Hi Panda

I woudn't panic too much if I were you.

Newt suggested getting tested again, I think this is a good idea,

Did you have a blood creatinine done? the normal range is between 0.5-1.1..so if you had bloods done then it's a little on the high side, but I don't think it's too much to worry about at this point.

Have you had a Creatnine Clearance done ? this is a urine sample done over a 24 hour period, the ranges are between 1.45-178...(just in case you need to know).

Keep working with your Doctor if you are overly concerned about this.
