Creatine: Why Your Kidney Markers May Rise

▶️ Creatine: Why Your Kidney Markers May Rise 👉    • Creatine:  Why Your Kidney Markers May Rise   If you’ve ever taken creatine… and then noticed your creatinine level was elevated on bloodwork, you’re not alone. And for a lot of people…that raises a very real concern: 👉 Is creatine damaging my kidneys? In this video, I walk you through the actual science behind creatine vs creatinine—because despite how similar those words sound…they mean very different things in the body. We’ll break down: • What creatine does (and why so many people take it) • What creatinine actually measures on your lab work • Why creatinine levels can rise with creatine supplementation • What the research shows about kidney function (including GFR) • Why this often gets misinterpreted—even in clinical settings I also review data from multiple studies, including randomized trials and a recent meta-analysis, to give you a clear and balanced understanding of what’s really happening. The bottom line: A slightly elevated creatinine does not automatically mean kidney damage—and understanding why can save a lot of unnecessary worry. As always, this is for educational purposes only. If you have underlying kidney disease or concerns about your labs, make sure to discuss them with your physician.
