HI
Thank for asking to HCM
Yes mam certain medicines causes renal damage, some time it does some time it may not, I would advise you to reduce the dose of Aspirin for some time say couple of weeks then repeat the creatinine test it will surely comes to normal but the value of your serum creatinine is said to be marginal, it does cause any symptoms, if I would be your treating physician the I would ask for sonography for kidney status, at this stage no need to worry, your creatinine value will definitely comes to normal try what I advised you, or discus it with your docotor have nice day.
