Two really different creat results?

Hey everyone, so I had a patient in clinicals who had a prostatectomy and after the surgery he had two Jackson-pratt drains.

There was an order for creat labs from the blood of the left and the right drain so we sent the 2 distinct samples to the lab and the creat level of the left drain (who was draining a lot more than the right) was 127umol/L and the right one was 327umol/L?

I was wondering what could be the cause of two so different creat levels?

thank you so much!!

    drain output similar/lower in creat means the drain can likely be pulled. The side with the increased creat- probably a leak somewhere in the urinary system on that side

    Thank you so much for your answer! I would never thought of this and I can connect more dots in this patient's clinical situation!
