HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
His creatinine value is slightly above the norm but if he is using this pain killer for only a limited time then it is unlikely to have a detrimental effect on his kidneys.
If he needs to use pain killers for a longer period of time then he may need to speak to his doctor so that a different one can be used.
I hope this helps
