Clarify?: Serum creatinine is a marker for kidney failure. Creatine (a different molecules) increases muscle mass. If someone has told you that creatine supplementation caused your chronic renal failure, please get a second opinion before you file a claim. Thanks for your service and i hope you are able to get things sorted out.

High creatinine: Suspect they were not giving creatinine but may creatine? It is not cause of CKD at least I have never heard of taking creatine causing renal disease. Suspect your friend has terms mixed up. This often is a problem in CKD-can't think straight till get on dialysis.
