High blood pressure can cause kidney damage and creatinine elevation, which needs to be judged according to specific circumstances.

Hypertension is usually caused by continuous higher than normal blood pressure on the vascular wall. According to the level of blood pressure elevation, it can be divided into hypertension grade 1, hypertension grade 2 and hypertension grade 3. If the patient is hypertension grade 1 and has taken antihypertensive treatment according to the doctor's advice, the blood pressure can usually be effectively controlled, and generally does not damage the kidneys and cause creatinine elevation. However, if the patient has grade 2 or 3 hypertension, especially if blood pressure control is unstable, this may increase the burden on the kidneys, resulting in kidney damage, which in turn reduces glomerular filtration rate and causes creatinine to increase.
