Apparently creatine supplements can raise creatinine and therefore the eGFR.

From US News:

What causes high creatinine levels?
Factors that can elevate creatinine levels but don't necessarily indicate kidney problems include:

Certain conditions, like a muscle injury.
Taking creatine supplements. Bodybuilders may take creatine supplements to help build muscle.
High muscle mass.
Your diet. Consuming a lot of meat can increase creatinine levels without signaling a significant kidney problem.
