Creatinine

Measures serum creatinine to assess kidney function

About This Test

The creatinine test measures creatinine levels in blood—a waste product from normal muscle tissue breakdown that kidneys filter out. It's a measurement of the amount of creatinine in the blood. This diagnostic evaluates kidney function by assessing how effectively kidneys filter waste, and is used for kidney function evaluation, kidney disease diagnosis, kidney health monitoring, preoperative assessment, and dehydration assessment.
