What Does High Blood Creatinine Level Suggest?

Hi, Dr Grief, While going through a health screening and found my blood creatinine level was slightly above normal range, does it mean there is a serious problem with my kidney function while blood tests for other renal function indicators have shown within normal range. A microscopic urine examination was performed and findings were normal? I am 57 years old, female. I will be most grateful for your professional expertise. Thank you. Lena.
