What is Serum Creatinine ?
The Serum Creatinine test measures the level of creatinine in a patient’s blood. Creatinine is a waste product produced by muscle metabolism, and its level in the blood is a critical marker for kidney function. Elevated or low levels can indicate kidney issues, muscle diseases, or other metabolic conditions. Clinicians typically order a Serum Creatinine test to: Assess kidney function, especially in patients with chronic kidney disease or those undergoing treatments that may impact kidney health. Monitor kidney health in patients with conditions like hypertension or diabetes that affect renal function. Evaluate muscle health, as abnormal creatinine levels can indicate muscle degeneration or disorders.
