General Information

 

In healthy people, creatinine is normally excreted by the kidneys. Because creatinine excretion is relatively constant in a particular person, the determination of creatinine in the urine may give us an idea of ​​renal function.

Unlike serum creatinine, urinary creatinine concentration can be additionally used as a parameter to determine other urinary metabolites (eg urinary calcium / urinary creatinine, urinary albumin / urinary creatinine, urinary vanillic acid / urinary creatinine, etc.).

Possible interpretation of the results

Urinary creatinine increases in the following diseases:

  • Acromegaly, gigantism
  • diabetes

Urinary creatinine decreases in the following diseases:

  • Chronic renal failure
  • Renal artery stenosis

Exercise, pregnancy, and a diet rich in meat can increase urinary creatinine.

Urinary creatinine should be determined not in isolation but in combination with serum creatinine and creatinine clearance to predict renal function status.
