See below: High serum creatinine is the result of kidney failure, not the other way around. What is your serum creatinine level? If it is higher than 1.2 mg %, please see your doctor. You may wish to consult this site for more info on this topic. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003475.htm.

Above 1.2: At most labs. It indicate renal abnormality if it's higher. When associated with elevated BUN or low GFR it indicates some type renal failure- see pcp.
