Creatinine Blood Test

Price: £11.00 VAT

The assay of creatinine in serum or plasma is the most commonly used test to assess renal function. Creatinine is a break-down product of creatine phosphate in muscle, and is usually produced at a fairly constant rate by the body (depending on muscle mass).

It is freely filtered by the glomeruli and, under normal conditions, is not re-absorbed by the tubules to any appreciable extent. A small but significant amount is also actively secreted.

Creatinine Blood Test

This test measures the named biochemical marker, which can provide information relevant to organ function or metabolic status. It may be used to investigate symptoms, contribute to monitoring, or support assessment of a known condition.

Abnormal results can have several explanations and do not establish a diagnosis on their own. Interpretation should take account of other results, medicines, medical history, and the laboratory’s reference interval.

Please follow the specimen collection and preparation instructions. Confirm any fasting or special handling requirements with the laboratory before collection.
