I’m 27 years old Asian.
I’ve been working out for bodybuilding competitions(natural, no trt or steroids) for 5 years and taken protein 2.2 grams per body weight (kg) a day and recently alerted the levels of creatinine which was 1.28.
It rose up from 1.14 2 years ago but is it normal for bodybuilders massing every year?
My body weight with around 8% of body fat is been increasing from 60 to 62 to 65kg for 3 years.
I think it’s a pure muscle mass because I don’t see big difference in body fat, they’re stable I suppose.
But I’m concerned that I’m still 20s and creatinine levels are high as like 50s.
Urine protein was negative last year.
I see some bubbles when I’m dehydrated but when I’m sufficiently hydrated I rarely see bubbles staying for long.
What do you think about this condition?
Should I test cystatin c as well? I heard that muscle mass does not affect its level.

In this context, it is definitely possible that the creatinine rise was a reflection of increased muscle mass. When calculating your eGFR (https://ukidney.com/nephrology-resources/egfr-calculator) it is still within the normal range. It would be interesting to measure your eGFR using a test called cystatin C which is not influenced by muscle mass.
