35% of normal functi: First is it an acute change or a chronic change. If acute it may be reversible. What does the urine look like? If there is blood and protein in the urine it might be a glomerulonephritis and many of these are treatable. If untreated they can progress to end stage renal failure. You are young so blockage of the urinary tract is unlikely but an ultrasound is needed. See you doc about the labs.

High creatinine: You should be referred to a nephrologist to better answer your question. A nephrologist will take a history and do a physical exam. If you did not have a 24 hour urine collection for a creatinine clearance and protein, you need to have one done. You will also need to have blood work and a renal ultrasound done as well to arrive at a diagnosis of what is causing your creatinine to be elevated.
