How the use of creatine supplements can elevate serum creatinine in the absence of underlying kidney pathology.
Serum creatinine is a widely used marker in the assessment of renal function. Elevated creatinine levels suggest kidney dysfunction, prompting the need for further investigation. This report describes a case in which the consumption of the bodybuilding supplement creatine ethyl ester resulted in raised serum creatinine in the absence of true underlying kidney pathology. The abnormalities reversed after discontinuation of the supplement. A case of pseudo renal failure was recognised and kidney function was concluded to be normal. This report aims to address the mechanisms by which the ingestion of creatine ethyl ester can mimic the blood results expected in advanced renal failure, and confronts the problems faced when relying on serum creatinine as a diagnostic tool.

[Impaired renal function: be aware of exogenous factors].
Renal function is currently estimated using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) formula, which is partly based on the serum creatinine level. Patients with impaired renal function are referred to nephrologists in accordance with the Dutch national transmural agreement for 'Chronic renal impairment'.. A 54-year-old woman without significant history was referred to analyse a coincidentally found decline in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). The patient had no complaints and used no medication except creatine supplements. Additional diagnostic testing showed no abnormalities. After cessation of creatine supplementation, the calculated renal function normalized.. Serum creatinine is a reflection of muscle mass. The use of creatine-containing dietary supplements, such as creatine ethyl ester, can influence serum creatinine levels and therefore the eGFR as calculated with the MDRD formula. The use of supplements deserves attention when taking the history.
