Clinical Overview

Clinical Summary: Creatinine is a waste product from muscle breakdown that is filtered out by the kidneys. Measuring its levels is the most accurate way to assess how well your kidneys are filtering your blood.

What is the Serum Creatinine Test?

This test measures the level of creatinine in the blood to calculate your GFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate). High levels suggest that the kidneys are not functioning at 100% capacity.

Why get tested?

  • To screen for kidney disease, especially in hypertensive or diabetic patients.
  • Before undergoing CT scans involving contrast dye.
  • Monitoring the side effects of certain long-term medications.
