Serum Creatinine Analysis

Serum creatinine is a critical test that measures the concentration of creatinine in the blood. Creatinine is a waste product produced by the normal breakdown of muscle tissue, which the kidneys filter out of the blood and excrete in urine. This test is essential for assessing kidney function and identifying kidney damage or disease.


Reference Range:

  • Normal Range: 0.5 to 1.2 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL).

Managing abnormal creatinine levels requires addressing the underlying cause, such as kidney disease, which may involve medications, dietary adjustments, and potentially dialysis or kidney transplantation for severe cases. For those with dehydration, it's advised to increase fluid intake.


Serum Creatinine Analysis is an essential tool for monitoring kidney function, diagnosing diseases, and evaluating treatment efficacy; thus, regular monitoring is critical for those with existing kidney issues or at risk due to conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure, ensuring individualized care based on health history and health status.
