How does dehydration cause high creatinine?
Dehydration means your body lose more fluid than you take. As a result, the kidneys cannot produce enough urine to filter blood wastes, including creatinine.

● Blood test (creatinine; blood urea nitrogen (BUN); glomerular filtration rate)
● Urine tests: urinalysis; urine protein; microalbuminuria; creatinine clearance)
● Imaging test: Ultrasound and CT scan
● Kidney biopsy
