Hi,

Bacterial infection precipitates and increases the creatinine levels and blood urea levels.

If treat the cellulitis effectively tend to decreases the levels of creatinine and blood urea.

So don't worry about creatinine levels, focus on cellulitis treatment by your good doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
