Can relatively low does ibuprofen use, long term cause kidney or other damage? have used for 15-20 years, 200-800 mgs a day. not every day, but spans of time where it's weeks in a row, then stop. have noticed creatinine level rising, connected?

Yes: NSAIDs, ibuprofen being a nonsteroidal in their class, are notorious of causing renal damage. However, in your case it should not be assumed that is due to NSAIDS, but rather proven. Your doc who is watching your kidney function should be able to clarify.
