About the test
Urine creatinine characterises excretion of a muscle metabolism product and is used in a number of kidney function investigations. It may be used for comparison with blood creatinine or for calculating ratios of other substances in urine. Its significance depends on whether a spot sample or a timed collection is tested.
This item alone does not imply a creatinine clearance test. Appropriate collection and additional information are required for such calculations. The doctor assesses the result together with symptoms, medical history and other investigations. The reference values of the individual laboratory are used for comparison, and changes over time are considered during follow-up.
Why it is ordered
- Assess urine creatinine.
- Complement investigations of kidney excretion.
How to prepare
