I have elevated blood creatinine (1.34 mg/dL) and all other tests lie in normal range (blood albumin&protein, spot urine ACR, kidney USG, BUN, Urea, U. Acid). I used to lift heavy weights but quit. I always had elevated creatinine. Something to worry?

A member asked:

I have high BUN and BUN/creatinine ratio (normal creatinine). I also have high ALT(SGPT). I understand the BUN can come from high dietary protein, but what does the ALT of 35 mean? Should I reduce protein intake to lower BUN?
