CREATININE
Creatinine is a waste product that comes from the
normal wear and tear on muscles of the body.
Everyone has creatinine in their bloodstream
A creatinine test is used to see if your kidneys are working normally.
It's often ordered along with another kidney test called blood urea nitrogen (BUN) or as part of a comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP).
Application
Serum creatinine (Scr) is the most commonly used biomarker of kidney function. In the steady-state, serum creatinine can be used to estimate glomerular filtration rate, using the modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD) [1] or chronic kidney disease epidemiology collaboration formulae.
