Can drinking water lower your creatinine levels?

I am a 20 year old female. I want to know if drinking water can lower your creatinine levels?

Yes, it can in the short term, if you start off dehydrated. Long term, it won’t make your creatinine lower. Being well hydrated is good for kidney health, though.
Yes it can.
