Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Creatinine level is only mildly elevated and this level usually do not point towards any renal pathology.
2. Increased muscle mass or a protein rich diet can cause increased creatinine.
3. Any level above 2 is significant. If you have any doubts, get a glomerular filtration rate test done, which should be definitely normal for you. Continue with regular intake of medications and maintain blood pressure within the normal range to avoid any damage to kidney.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
