Creatinine with GFR
₹150.00
Description
- Definition: The Creatinine with GFR test combines the measurement of serum creatinine levels with the calculation of the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR), which estimates how well the kidneys are filtering waste from the blood.
- Purpose: This test is used to assess kidney function and diagnose kidney diseases. The GFR is a critical indicator of renal health, helping healthcare providers evaluate the severity of kidney impairment and guide treatment decisions.
- Clinical Relevance: Monitoring creatinine levels alongside GFR helps identify early stages of kidney disease, allowing for timely interventions. It is particularly important for patients with conditions like diabetes and hypertension, which can affect kidney function.
- Interpretation: Normal GFR values generally range from 90 to 120 mL/min, depending on factors like age, sex, and body size. A GFR below 60 mL/min may indicate chronic kidney disease, while a rapid decline can suggest acute kidney injury.
- Testing Method: The test typically involves measuring serum creatinine through a blood sample and calculating GFR using established formulas, such as the Cockcroft-Gault or MDRD equations. Results provide a comprehensive overview of kidney function.
