About the Serum Creatinine test

Measures blood creatinine, which is commonly used to estimate kidney filtration (eGFR). Assessment of kidney function or monitoring medicines and chronic conditions.

Before your sample

Usually no fasting is necessary. A single creatinine result cannot establish chronic kidney disease.

Understanding the result

Muscle mass, diet and some medicines can affect creatinine; eGFR may require age and sex. Urine albumin-creatinine ratio may add important kidney information.

Clinical safety: A laboratory test is one part of clinical assessment. Do not delay urgent medical attention for chest pain, breathing difficulty, severe bleeding or serious illness.
