Can elevated creatinine and low eGFR be due to one’s exercise intensity?

I exercise 5 days a week for 60 to 75 minutes (spinning class and then resistance training). I am 50. The last three years my creatinine level is slightly high and eGFRis slightly low. When I work out, I always sweat a lot and the smell is ammonia like. My blood pressure is normal; always less than 120/80.
I agree with Joanne. I’ve had this conversation (about elevated creatine levels and high intensity exercise before). Go see your physician, tell him or her what your normal exercise routine consists of and have a candid discussion about your concerns.
