Creatinine Assay Kit

0 out of 5

Summary:
Creatinine is a waste product excreted by the kidneys mainly by glomerular filtration. The concentration of creatinine in plasma of a healthy individual is fairly constant, independent from water intake, exercise and rate of urine production. Therefore increased plasma creatinine values always indicate decreased excretion, i.e. impaired kidney function. The creatinine clearance enables a quite good estimation of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which allows better detection of kidney diseases and monitoring of renal function. For this purpose creatinine is measured simultaneously in serum and urine collected over a defined time period.
