I have an egfr of 59ml/min/1.73 and a creatinine level of 1.37mg/dl. i have also been taking creatine supplements (1600mg/day) for approx. 2 years. is this something a should be concerned about? note: i have been experiencing a dry mouth lately?

Taking creatine is not doing you any good other than lightening your wallet. Your eGFR level indicates mild renal impairment and it is imperative that you consult a nephrologist to ascertain the cause and take measures to avoid additional damage to the kidneys, Drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless.
