Exercise is usually a good thing, but overdoing it may spike your creatinine levels. Since muscle metabolism produces creatinine, overusing muscle groups through strenuous activity might raise levels.
One study indicates that intense exercise increases creatinine levels as a response to increased muscle breakdown, at least temporarily.
Talk to your doctor about how much and what type of exercise you should do. Try walking instead of running, or doing yoga instead of lifting weights.
