Recent research challenges the long-standing belief that creatine supplementation harms kidney health, showing no adverse effects in healthy individuals and potential safety—even possible benefits—in some with kidney issues. Early concerns were based on case reports using unreliable kidney function markers, particularly in those with pre-existing kidney disease. While creatine can raise serum creatinine levels, this reflects its metabolism rather than kidney damage, prompting experts to call for more specific renal assessments. Although large, long-term studies in people with kidney disease are still needed, current evidence strongly supports creatine’s renal safety in healthy populations and suggests the potential for reno-protective effects.
