Serum creatinine in normal sudanese athlets and soldiers

Plasma levels of creatinine are related to the relative muscles mass, the rate of creatine turnover and the renal function. It has been accepted for years that the plasma level of creatinine is relatively UN affected by the diet. However, some reports have indicated that the protein content of the diet may be indeed affect the plasma level of creatinine if it affects the individuals muscles mass. This a primary study to detect the normal range of serum creatinine in normal Sudanese athletes and soldiers. This study showed the mean of creatinine concentration (1.097±0.311, 1.12±0.17 mg/dl) for soldiers and athletes respectively. There was no difference in creatinine concentration either between differences gender male: female (1.1±0.16: 1.1±0.12), or between different occupations soldiers: athletes (1.07±0.11: 1.12±0.17). But there was significant difference in creatinine concentration among the different age group of study subject. Serum creatinine is not much different depending on the gender or the individual occupation weather they were soldiers or athletes, but it is influenced by age progress.
