No: Lab tests can vary from draw to draw. The creatinine is a sensitive test for kidney function and normal range is between 0.8 and 1.4. You are within normal limits.That being said, a common cause of elevated creatinine can be medications especially NSAIDS (ibuprofen and aleve); also some common blood pressure meds. Check with you doctor if worried but your ok.
