No, elevated creatinine levels is only a sign of kidney disease if all else remains equal. Consuming more creatine will naturally increase production of creatinine because creatinine is a byproduct of the kidneys processing creatine.

In other words, it's not a very reliable signal for kidney disease. There is a more reliable blood test called a "Cystatin C" test.
