Creatinine* [Serum]

Serum Creatinine level test is a blood test that measures the amount of creatinine in the blood. Creatinine is a waste product produced by muscles from the breakdown of a compound called creatine. The kidneys filter out creatinine, so this test is a key indicator of kidney function. Healthy kidneys remove creatinine from the blood, but if creatinine levels are high, it suggests the kidneys might not be working properly. This test helps in assessing kidney health and detecting kidney issues early.
