What does your Doctor say about your level?

A urinary tract infection may also cause higher levels of creatinine because the infection can compromise the kidneys. Kidney diseases can also cause high levels of creatinine in the blood. And yes, some meds; my question would be, are you a diabetic, do you have a history of UTIs which are causing the high levels?

You have obviously been to your doctor and had a blood test and this was the result, your high creatinine levels. So my question is, did you discuss this with your doctor? This is a multi faceted issue, i.e. a large amount of red meat can cause high levels as well.

Discuss this with your doctor.
