What Is Creatinine—And Why Do Levels Rise?
Creatinine is a waste product created when your muscles break down creatine (a compound that helps produce energy). Healthy kidneys filter creatinine out of your blood and excrete it through urine.
But when kidney function slows—even slightly—creatinine builds up in the bloodstream, leading to higher lab values.
Elevated creatinine can signal:
Dehydration
High protein intake
Certain medications (like NSAIDs)
Chronic kidney disease (CKD)
Acute kidney stress (from infection, illness, or intense exercise)
Important: A single high reading doesn’t always mean kidney damage. Always discuss results with your doctor—especially if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of kidney disease.
