Kidney doctor: The elevated Cr may suggest kidney dysfunction. Your friend should see a nephrologist first to establish what may be the problem. The nephrologist can then determine the next step for proper treatment. Good luck!

May be fine: Creatinine levels also reflect muscularity. When I was lifting weights every day, mine ran 1.6 or 1.7. In fact, the subscientific formula to estimate glomerular filtration rate includes an adjustment for race "because black people are more muscular." In any case, treat the person, not the lab value.
