Creatinine slightly elevated

Creatinine increased to 1.22. Ultrasound of the kidneys was normal, urine test strips at the urologist were normal, no hypertension and no diabetes. Should I still be worried...

Dr. med. Ive Dr. Schaaf

No, you don't have to worry right away. There are also harmless explanations for elevated creatinine levels. For example, not drinking enough water, errors in sample collection, medication intake...

If you could provide some information, we could say more about it:

With this information, we could start looking into it.
