At the risk of sounding stupid. Doesn’t this mean it would mask actual kidney disease? So you’d be ignoring potential warning signs. | ||

IF you tell your doc, they can adjust their interpretation of the test. Edit: see comment below (i.e. better to stop taking creatine at least a week before a test). | ||

There is a much more accurate test called Cystatin C that can be used instead, and it isn't subject to being thrown off by creatine, muscle mass, etc. | ||
