Test Code

Creatinine (Serum) is a waste product formed from normal muscle metabolism and is removed from the bloodstream by the kidneys. The Serum Creatinine test is one of the most important and commonly used indicators of kidney function. Elevated creatinine levels suggest reduced kidney filtration, which may occur in acute or chronic kidney disease, dehydration, urinary tract obstruction, or due to certain medications. This test is often used to calculate the estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) and is routinely ordered for monitoring kidney health, diabetes, hypertension, and before imaging studies requiring contrast.
