Creatinine
The Creatinine test measures the level of creatinine, a waste product produced by muscle metabolism, in the blood or urine. It is an essential indicator of kidney function, as healthy kidneys filter creatinine efficiently from the bloodstream. Elevated blood creatinine levels may indicate impaired kidney function or kidney disease, while low levels are less common and may result from reduced muscle mass. This test is often used alongside the Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) test to calculate the BUN-to-creatinine ratio, helping clinicians assess kidney health and diagnose conditions such as chronic kidney disease, acute kidney injury, or dehydration. Regular monitoring is crucial for patients with diabetes, hypertension, or other risk factors affecting renal function.Reports On : With 90 MinuteSample Type : Blood, UrineFasting…
