Are you a big guy?: Creatinine increases with muscle mass; when I was lifting weights every day, mine ran 1.6-1.7. A few meds, notably cimetadine, raise the value. And you're getting a little bit older and kidneys may not be filtering quite so well. You'd do well to watch this over the coming years.
