What is creatinine?
Creatinine is a waste product produced by your muscle metabolism. This waste product is created when creatine, which can be found in your muscles, breaks down. Your kidneys filter creatinine from your blood.What do we determine during a creatinine test?
In this case research looks at the amount of creatinine in the blood. If your kidneys are not functioning properly, there may be a higher amount of creatinine in your blood. Your kidneys normally filter creatinine from your blood, but when your kidneys are damaged and do not work sufficiently, this can lead to higher levels of creatinine in the blood.
