About this test
Creatinine is a waste product from normal muscle activity that healthy kidneys clear steadily. When the level rises, filtration has fallen. It is the cheapest way to keep an eye on kidney function between fuller renal panels.
What it measures
- Serum creatinine
- Estimated GFR
A note on results. A single test is one part of a clinical picture, not a diagnosis. Discuss your report with a qualified doctor, who will read it alongside your history and examination.
