Creatine breaks down into creatinine, which is the blood marker used to calculate GFR and estimate kidney function. If you take a creatine supplement your creatinine will be elevated and consequently GFR also low. Doesn't mean that anything is wrong with your kidneys. Not sure what cystatin c is. If you really are concerned about your kidneys, best thing to do would probably be to get off creatine for a month or two then recheck blood work.
