Serum Creatinine Test
The serum creatinine test is used to measure the levels of creatinine in your blood.
What is creatinine?
Creatinine is a waste product from the breakdown of creatine found in your muscles. This test is performed to see how well your kidneys are working.
Each kidney comprises tiny blood-filtering structural units called nephrons. The nephrons filter blood constantly through a tiny cluster of blood vessels called glomeruli. These filter waste products, excess water, and impurities of blood. These toxins are stored in the bladder and removed through urination. Creatinine is eliminated through a kidney from our body. Hence, measuring the level of creatinine in the blood shows your kidney function. High levels of creatinine in blood show kidney impairment.
Why serum creatinine test is recommended?
This test may be recommended to you as a part of your regular medical checkup. It is usually given with routine blood tests. Your doctor may recommend this test to you if you have signs and symptoms like less appetite, swelling of feet and ankle, dry, itchy skin, puffy eyes, frequent tiredness, muscle cramps, frequent or painful urination, blood or protein in the urine, etc.
Factors like age, gender, race, health history and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) are also considered in measuring the functioning of the kidney. Usually, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) is also done along with your serum creatinine test.
Creatinine level depends on the muscle mass you have. It varies among men, women, and children, depending on their age. Your test results may not always show a problem with your kidney. Ask your doctor about your results.
Serum creatinine test result interpretation
Some factors might affect the results of your serum creatinine test like having a lot of meal before the test, administering large doses of vitamin C, pregnancy, taking certain medicines like antibiotics (trimethoprim, cephalexin, cefuroxime), cimetidine, ranitidine, famotidine, aspirin, ibuprofen, chemotherapy medications, etc. Hence inform your doctor or technician about all your current medications and medical conditions prior to the test.
