Creatinine test , also known as a Serum Creatinine test, evaluates the concentration of creatinine in the blood sample. Creatinine is a byproduct generated in the body during the wear and tear of muscles and is usually filtered out through urine by the kidneys. If kidney function is impaired, creatinine may not be excreted properly and may accumulate in the blood. Therefore, high creatinine levels in the blood can signal potential kidney problems. Creatinine can also be elevated in certain lifestyle diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease, which are risk factors for kidney failure. In a city like Bangalore, where lifestyle diseases such as diabetes and hypertension are highly prevalent, regular creatinine testing is crucial for the early detection and management of kidney-related issues.
A Creatinine test is used to evaluate kidney health and help diagnose various lifestyle diseases. It can be conducted individually or as a part of a metabolic panel or kidney function tests during routine medical checkups.
