Urology
Medically reviewed by Dr. Jayanth Reddy , Urologist
Creatinine is a waste product formed during normal muscle metabolism and filtered out by healthy kidneys. When creatinine levels rise in blood tests, it may indicate reduced kidney function.
A slightly high creatinine level is not a reason to panic, but it is an important signal to identify the underlying cause early. Timely diagnosis and treatment can help prevent long-term kidney damage and complications.
At My Health Hospitals, Dr. Jayanth Reddy, a leading urologist, specializes in diagnosing and treating the root causes of elevated creatinine levels using advanced and patient-focused care.
Creatinine is a waste product produced by muscles during normal metabolism. Healthy kidneys filter creatinine from the blood and remove it through urine.
π Important: Even slightly elevated creatinine requires proper medical evaluation.
