Before opening the calculator
Keep the original lab report available, including the creatinine value, units, and date. Copying a number without its units can lead to an incorrect input.
Preparing for follow-up
Bring previous results if available, your medication list, and the reason the test was ordered. Ask your clinician how the result fits your history and whether follow-up is needed.
Choosing your next step
If you need a clinician to review a recent report, describe that goal in your intake. The care team will determine whether telehealth is appropriate or whether an in-person evaluation is needed.
