Please see the discussion

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
Urinary tract infection is a reported adverse effect of Plavix and there are some reports of elevation of serum creatinine.
So it may be good to get your urine and blood tested for these.
If you are on any other medicine or you have any other disease condition, please let me know and I shall comment on the chance of any of those being the cause of your symptom.
