CREATININE - SERUM
What does CREATININE - SERUM measure?
This test measures the level of creatinine in the blood. Creatinine is a waste product produced by normal muscle activity and is removed mainly by the kidneys. The test may help assess kidney function, monitor known kidney conditions, or support evaluation before certain treatments or procedures. It may also be used alongside other tests to estimate how well the kidneys are filtering waste.
