Is this age-related decline in GFR or kidney disease?

Guess I did spell them the same...
Should have read "My creatinine was on high end, but I take creatine regularly to keep sarcopenia at bay. "
Does one not affect the other?

@eileen206 I don’t know much about creatine other than it is a substance having to do with muscle mass in invertebrates (think spine).
Creatinine is a substance having to do with kidney function and the amount is part of the equation used to calculate your eGFR (your kidney function).
I suppose one might affect the other. Since everything in the body ends up being filtered by the kidneys to clean the blood and achieve the proper balance of all substances throughout the body.
