Creatinine is increasing over months
Dear doctor, my creatinine was 0.7 in Jan, 0.98 in March and 1.03 in September. It looks like it is increasing. I also had other tests yesterday and their values are ( BUN 7.83, URIC ACID 5.91, Sodium 137, Potassium 3.69, Chloride 108.6, eGFR 97.1). I also had urine yesterday where everything is shown normal.
What should I do in this case? Why creatinine is increasing overtime. I know kidneys are fine at this time but will it be affected soon? I'm attaching the urine report here.
