Creatinine is the waste product of muscle metabolism, which is mainly excreted by kidneys. And the normal level of creatinine in blood is 0.5-1.2 mg/dl, when the creatinine level is higher than the normal level, which means their kidneys have been damaged severely. So high creatinine level is an indicator of severe kidney damage.

Although creatinine 1.5 looks not so higher than the normal, but it means patients have less than 50% kidney function. Because creatinine is a small molecule material, when the kidney function is more than 50%, the kidney can still excrete the creatinine normally. Creatinine level 1.5 is higher than the normal level, it means the kidneys have been damaged severely. The higher the creatinine level is, the more severe the kidney damage is.
