What factors can temporarily increase creatinine levels?

Several factors can cause a temporary rise in creatinine levels. Dehydration, intense physical activity, and consuming a high-protein diet can elevate creatinine. Certain medications, such as NSAIDs, diuretics, or antibiotics, may also temporarily increase creatinine levels. If your creatinine levels are elevated, your doctor will take these factors into account when interpreting your test results. To ensure accurate readings, it’s best to follow any pre-test instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
