Description

The Creatinine test measures the level of creatinine in the blood, a waste product generated from muscle metabolism. Creatinine is produced at a relatively constant rate and is primarily excreted by the kidneys. This test is commonly used to assess kidney function, as elevated levels of creatinine may indicate impaired kidney function or kidney disease.

Normal creatinine levels vary based on age, gender, and muscle mass, but higher levels can suggest issues such as chronic kidney disease, acute kidney injury, or dehydration. The test is often part of a comprehensive metabolic panel or renal function panel to monitor kidney health and evaluate overall metabolic status.
