[QUOTE="sammmy, post: 239649, member: 38594"] If you have been on the same drugs, same protein and creatine consumption daily and your creatinine in blood starts increasing, that may signify a worsening kidney function. On the other hand, if you have changed your drugs or have increased protein or creatine consumption, that by itself may cause increase of creatinine in blood which then is not a signal of decreasing kidney function. Some drugs compete with creatinine filtration at the kidneys which increases creatinine concentration in blood but is not a sign of worsening kidney function. Some HIV drugs that I use do that and depending on the drug my creatinine concentration jumps up or down, with the corresponding jumps in the calculated eGFR. Because eGFR is just calculated from creatinine, I pay attention only to the creatinine concentration and I know what is the normal concentration for a particular HIV drug, so I am not worried if it jumps to that concentration. When I take another HIV drug that doesn't compete with creatinine that much, it's concentration in the blood drops, which means there was no real change in the kidney function. [/QUOTE]
