Hello
Your findings suggests creatinine level is towards upper limit(still almost within range).It may be due to simple reasons like dehydration,high protein diet etc as you don't have any symptoms.
Elevated creatinine may be found in many other conditions like renal disease or obstruction,muscle dystrophy etc.
Besides clinical correlation,you can have repeat test after one month.I hope it will come down.
Get well soon.
