Creatinine on TRT
What the number means, why it moves on a protocol, and what people usually do about it.
What it is
Creatinine is a waste product of muscle metabolism cleared by the kidneys. It tracks muscle mass and creatine intake as much as kidney function.
The range
TRT-aware target
Read against the lab range and the trend
How to read the lab range
Lab range roughly 0.7 to 1.3 mg/dL (60 to 110 µmol/L). A big lifter on creatine sits at the top or just over with normal kidneys.
Why it moves on a protocol
- Creatine supplements raise it without touching the kidney.
- Muscle mass; the formula assumes an average build.
- Dehydration, a high-protein diet, NSAIDs.
- Blood pressure running high for months; the real kidney risk.
What people usually do · not a recommendation
- Retest hydrated and off creatine for five to seven days.
- Ask for cystatin C; it ignores muscle.
- Keep blood pressure in check and go easy on NSAIDs.
How Magno reads it
Import the PDF or a photo of the report and Magno finds Creatinine on it, keeps every test on one line, shows the change since the last one, and reads it against TRT-aware thresholds rather than the lab's generic range. The panel it belongs to, Kidney & Electrolytes, gets a written verdict with the probable causes and what people usually do.

Questions people ask
Creatinine high on creatine, should I stop?
Not for the kidney. Stop for a week before the next draw so the number is honest, or ask for cystatin C.
