Best Test for Kidney Health

What would be the best test for checking kidney health other than creatinine as I workout in gym and I am taking creatine. So my creatinine levels will already be elevated. Alternative?

Hi Creatine supplement / workout at the gym and muscle gain by itself can slightly show elevated creatinine but doesn’t mean it is affecting your kidneys. Yes other test would be Cystatin C. For routine monitoring creatinine would be enough unless you have high risk for kidney disease and want to be extra cautious.
