DrJMW or any expert .. creatinine levels 1.5

[jet]

My blood work came back and my creatinine level ( blood) was 1.5

My doc says it has gone from 1.1 to 1.3 to 1.5 since 97. My diet consists of more protien than it did in 97. Also, i am much more muscular than in 97. I've taken creatine but stopped about 2 weeks before this latest blood test.
I also take tetracycline for my acne..I guess I should ask the doc about that.
Oh and I started taking "supplemements" in 97.

anyway, should I be concerned?

come on can someone help me out?

Normal creatinine levels are between 0.6 and 1.2 mg/dL. Due to the greater amount of muscle mass generally present, males normally demonstrate higher creatinine levels than females. Two to 4 mg/dL indicate the presence of impairment of renal function. Greater than 4 mg/dL indicates serious impairment in renal function. Your Creatinine is probably elevated because of the extra muscle mass you have put on. Also, everyone's creatinine rises slowly over the course of years.

Hope this helps,
