Thank you for answering!! I think unless you've had it severe, creatinine should be okay in theory...but we will just have to find out next week. Just had my labs done

Ook good luck just letting u kno I had my kidney transplant 19 years ago my creatine when from 1.3 to 1.4 then 1.5 but not too worry I did eat meat during the holidays so I knew it was going to be a little high also it goes up to 1.5 then down to 1.3 so not really worry just drink lots of water

Yes thats how my creatinine is too! 1.3 then 1.4 then 1.5.. when I had meat in my diet, it would range from 1.5-1.8 hahaha. No mean 1.3-1.4

you mean to say that you have antibodies inspite of not taking prior vaccination?

I had COVID and my creatinine was still decent. What affects creatinine is moreso your hydration levels than any sort of infection.

I mean it definitely can, and if you're worried I'd let your doc know.

I had COVID around the New Year. My creatinine actually went down a bit 1.4 to 1.2. Anxious to check again soon to where it is now that I have returned to “normal “.

Thats nice. Never had that happen to me when I catch a virus. It always goes up lol. Only when I'm pregnant, it goes down

I have COVID-19 now and my creatine has been going down since came to hospital. It went as low as .87 this morning. The doctors are saying that I might be loosing muscle as a result of low creatinine.

Oh wow.. yes I can see that being sick and all. Hope it stays that way with normal muscle mass :)

Thank you for all your inputs. My creatinine did rose a little but nothing new. It went from 1.4 to 1.6 which I had before. Doctor thinks its from covid dehydration as it hasn't been that long since my recovery!

I am sure your creatinine will recover in no time. Stay hydrated and rest up.
