Creatinine 1.31 is slightly high. May be due to dehydration, high protein diet, or early kidney stress. Repeat KFT, and drink more water. Consult if rising further.

Hi, from a recent blood report, my eGFR was 80 and creatinine was 0.92. I have no discomfort or pain during urination. Is there any cause for concern? Should I consult a urologist? I am a 36 year old Indian female.
