I was reading a medical article and found an error about creatinine levels in the Cerebral vasculitis page.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_vasculitis

They mentioned urine creatinine above 1.5mg/dl as a diagnostic criteria. What?!? I can’t believe nobody spotted that in the four years it has been on the web (since 2005). Normal urine creatinine are more like 120mg/dl and abnormally high urine levels are above 250mg/dl. So 1.5mg/dl is an error and the 1.5 value reflects serum creatinine.

You can read in this paper that the actual criteria is 1.58mg/dl in the serum[1].

Now fixed (by me!)
