Description

This test measures creatinine (a product of protein breakdown) in urine. It is used to determine glomerular filtration rate, which helps to measure how well the kidney functions.  This test may be used in suspected cases of gout , impaired kidney function, and kidney disease in diabetic patients.

Creatinine is a normal waste product produced by muscle metabolism. When your kidneys are functioning normally, they filter creatinine and other waste products out of your blood and send them out of the body through urine.
