I messed up my units, here. My son's reading was 33 µg/gram of creatinine, not by total volume the way blood is read.
His creatinine was 11.6, and the total volume peed in that six hours was 400 mL = 4 dL, which makes (33 µg)*(11.6)/4 = 95.7 µg/dL of urine.
I don't know if it was really that ridiculously high, or if urine concentration just can't be compared to blood concentration this way. But that looks to me to be how the units work out.
