My creatinine levels are up do i need to be concerned?

Yes: Talk to your Dr. Creatine is a logarithmic scale, so small increases can mean big changes in kidney function. Provider who ordered test should be able to tell you if within OK range for you or if concerning increase, and what to try to improve it.
