General Information

Creatinine It is a chemical substance that is produced in the muscles during the process of energy production (as a result of the breakdown of creatine). It is constantly released into the blood and excreted by the kidneys.

Creatinine is excreted by the kidneys. Impaired renal function decreases creatinine secretion, leading to an increase in serum creatinine levels. Thus, the creatinine concentration correlates with the glomerular filtration rate and therefore the main benefit of determining its concentration is the diagnostics of renal failure.

When should we take the test?

In asymptomatic patients
During pregnancy
In symptomatic patients who have:

Symptoms associated with urination
Hypertension
Acute and chronic kidney disease
Extrarenal disease with diarrhea
Vomiting
Abundant sweating
Acute disease
Postoperative period
The need for intensive medical care
Sepsis
Shock
Polytrauma
Hemodialysis
Metabolic diseases (diabetes, hyperuricemia)
Diseases with impaired protein metabolism (multiple myeloma, acromegaly)
Treatment with nephrotoxic drugs

Possible interpretation of the results

Creatinine increases

Acute or chronic glomerular or tubulo-interstitial cause of the kidney;
Urinary tract obstruction (postrenal azotemia);
Decreased renal perfusion (prerenal azotemia): congestive heart failure, shock, dehydration;
Musculoskeletal disorders: myasthenia gravis, muscular dystrophies, poliomyelitis; Rhabdomyolysis;
Hyperthyroidism;
Gigantism, acromegaly.

Creatinine decreases

Pregnancy (normal values: 0,4-0,6 mg / dL; levels above 0,8 mg / dL are considered abnormal and require additional examination);
Decrease in muscle mass;
Protein deficiency in the ration;
Severe liver disease.

Reference values

Material for examination: Venous blood

It is advisable to do the test on empty stomach .
It is necessary to inform the laboratory about the medications the patient is taking - cimetidine, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), aspirin, ibuprofen, chemotherapy drugs, cephalosporins, and others.
It is recommended to abstain from meat for 12-24 hours before the test.
Alcohol, tobacco, and alcohol should be excluded for 12 hours before the study.
In the morning, before blood collection, you can drink water.

Higher creatinine levels are found in men and people with large muscle mass.

The same creatinine concentration in young and old does not mean the same glomerular filtration rate (creatinine clearance (excretion) decreases in the elderly, but creatinine production also decreases)

Serum creatinine is a more specific and sensitive indicator of renal function than urea. However, in chronic kidney disease, it is useful to determine both creatinine and serum urea (BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen) - with the urea nitrogen parameter), as the BUN / creatinine ratio (norm - 10-20) provides more information about renal function.
