Can medications affect my creatinine levels?

Yes, certain medications can affect creatinine levels by impacting kidney function. Drugs such as NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), antibiotics, and diuretics can elevate creatinine levels. Some medications may cause temporary changes in kidney filtration rates. It’s essential to inform your doctor of all medications, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, before taking a creatinine test to ensure accurate results and proper interpretation of your kidney function.
