Hello XXXX,
It sounds as though you keep yourself quite fit.
Creatinine can go up with dehydration, but then BUN would also increase. BUN (blood urea nitrogen) is what goes up most with dehydration.
Can you please list your lab results for BUN, Creatinine, Estimated GFR or other kidney blood tests (if done), and protein (if done). That will help me to speak to this more specifically. Please provide lab reference ranges too.
Also, if you have results from past BUN and Creatinine tests that would be very helpful, as we look at the trend for creatinine in relation to where it has been in the past.
There is a "button" on the page where you wrote your question, that says "Upload Reports". You can send your lab results to me this way if it is tedious writing down all the results. Thanks.
