What Causes Creatine Level Of 1.1 Mg/dL While On Tylenol And Ibuprofen?
I had good labs and a creatine of 1.0. My GFR was 66 so my ARNP is sending me to a Neuphrologist just bc she wants to be safe than sorry. I do take a lot of Tylenol and Ibuprofen when I am sick with a cold or have a headache or back pain. My ARNP stated sometimes that can cause that number to be a little and I also take a fluid pill and shebsaid that cld contribute as well. That is all the medication I take so I was wondering just how bad is that number being 66. I am a 49 yr old African American

Hello,
Your creatinine levels are elevated and this means that you are having impaired kidney function. You should meet a nephrologyst as soon as possible.
