How can kidney infections affect creatinine levels?

A kidney infection (pyelonephritis) can cause elevated creatinine levels by impairing the kidneys’ ability to filter waste. Infections can lead to inflammation and damage to the kidney tissues, reducing their function and causing waste products like creatinine to accumulate in the blood. Treating the infection promptly with antibiotics can help restore kidney function and bring creatinine levels back to normal. If a kidney infection is suspected, your doctor will perform additional tests to assess the impact on kidney health.
