What is the Creatinine Test?
Creatinine is a waste product made by your muscles and removed from the blood by the kidneys. The Serum Creatinine test is the most widely used blood test to check kidney function.
When the kidneys are not filtering well, creatinine builds up in the blood. Because kidney disease is silent in its early stages, people with diabetes and high blood pressure should test creatinine regularly.
What it measures: The level of creatinine in your blood — an indicator of how well your kidneys filter waste.

Ranges are typical adult values and vary between labs, age and sex. Always use the range printed on your report and discuss results with your doctor.
Understanding your results
