creatinine 1.29 above high normal.
I have an arthirtitis doctor. She has referred me to a nephrology doctor.

Brief Answer:
What are your medications?

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

This is high above the normal but not so concerning. What pain medications have you been taking? That might be the most likely cause of the increased creatinine values. Let me hear about your drugs at this time.
