AN Andheri resident — Rajesh Khurana, 58, — was in for a shock last week when an online pharmacy delivered him a report with a very high reading of his creatinine level. While the normal range is 0.5-1.3, his report mentioned 8.0. His family thought he needed to be rushed to hospital thinking his kidney was functioning at 30 per cent capacity, as the report stated. However, a timely second round of tests conducted at Soorya Hospital on the advice of their family doctor, revealed a normal creatinine level of 0.8.

Once in three months

Khurana told mid-day, "On July 15, I booked the tests through the PharmEasy app. I get my urine, lipid and creatinine levels checked every three months as I am diabetic. I had last undergone these tests in April when I was hospitalised after a stroke. The results were normal then."
