Creatinine Meaning

Creatinine is a substance produced by the muscles as a result of the normal breakdown of creatine phosphate. It is mainly excreted by the kidneys and is an important marker of kidney function.

Higher creatinine levels may indicate reduced kidney function, but may also be related to other factors, such as dehydration, muscle injuries, certain medications, and some medical conditions.

Creatinine (urine)

When testing for drug use, the concentration of creatinine in urine is determined to detect diluted samples. If the creatinine value is within the normal range, the test is reliable.
