#' This function should usually not be called directly by the user. It is used

#'@param gender Gender for which to generate serum creatinine values ("Male" or
#' "Female")
#'@param reth NHANES race/ethnicity category for which to generate serum
#' creatinine values ("Mexican American", "Non-Hispanic Black", "Non-Hispanic
#' White", "Other", or "Other Hispanic")
#'@param age_months vector of ages in months for individuals for whom to
#' generate serum creatinine values (between 0-959 months)
#'@param age_years Vector of ages in years for individuals for whom to generate
#' serum creatinine values (corresponding to age_months)
