elevated creatinine

WORKPLAY
I recently had blood work for an insurance exam that revealed a creatinine level of 1.7.  It says normal is .07 to 1.5.  I am a 47 year old male, 6' 170 and work out at the gym 5-6 days a week.  (not sure if its related but i drink about 5 protein shakes a week and occasionally add creatine)  Could the work outs increase the level or should i have follow up testing?  BUN was 24.

definitely your work-outs and creatine will elevate you creatinine levels.
