Lab results and kidney function

Hi docs,

wanted to get your thoughts on elevated creatinine and eGFR values from recent labs.

36 yo Caucasian male

5’9, 196lbs

37”

BP 109/73

I am currently taking a GPL1 (mounjaro) to control obesity, and these labs were ordered as I re-start this medication, after having used off and on for 2 years.I exercise regularly and have lifted for 20 years. Of note, I fasted for 12 hours before this test and had approx 6 oz of water over that time frame.

Wondering if there is anything remarkable from this test that warrants a closer look or further testing.

Thanks!
