Hello there.
S. Creatinine is an important marker of your kidney. It helps to analyse how your kidneys are doing. Elevated Creatinine along with reduced eGfr would indicate underlying kidney disease. Sometimes it also relates with untreated Hypertension or Uncontrolled Diabetes mellitus.
So, monitoring is required once in two months atleast.
Next Steps
Stay hydrated. check your BP and sugar levels just to make sure they're not a reason for the raised creatinine.
Recheck your Creatinine along with eGFR after a month. If it remains the same, then you need a proper medical attention, to bring it back to normal range.
Health Tips
Look for symptoms like facial swelling or lower limb swelling, especially in the morning when u wake up.

A serum creatinine of 1.35 mg/dL is slightly above the typical reference range for many labs, but it has been stable for 8 years, which is reassuring. Stability over such a long period usually indicates that kidney function is not rapidly declining.Continue regular monitoring of kidney function (serum creatinine, eGFR, urine tests) every 6–12 months.
