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.

Creatinine Normal Value
The normal range for creatinine in women is between 47.35 and 79.8 micromoles per liter, and for men between 18 and 100 micromoles per liter.
Creatinine Value
| Result | Unit | Value min-max | Age | Gender | Biomarker interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Deviant | mycro-mol/l | 0 - 59.2 | 18 - 100 | Man | The creatinine is too low. |
| Caution | mycro-mol/l | 59.2 - 62.16 | 18 - 100 | Man | The creatinine is still within the normal range, but is on the low side. |
| Normal | mycro-mol/l | 62.16 - 98.23 | 18 - 100 | Man | The creatinine is good. |
| Caution | mycro-mol/l | 98.23 - 103.4 | 18 - 100 | Man | The creatinine is still within the normal range, but is on the high side. |
| Deviant | mycro-mol/l | 103.4 - 1000 | 18 - 100 | Man | The creatinine is outside the normal range and is too high. |
| Deviant | mycro-mol/l | 0 - 45.1 | 18 - 100 | Woman | The creatinine is too low. |
| Caution | mycro-mol/l | 45.1 - 47.35 | 18 - 100 | Woman | The creatinine is still within normal limits, but is on the low side. |
| Normal | mycro-mol/l | 47.35 - 79.8 | 18 - 100 | Woman | The creatinine is good. |
| Caution | mycro-mol/l | 79.8 - 84 | 18 - 100 | Woman | The creatinine is still within normal limits, but is on the high side. |
| Deviant | mycro-mol/l | 84 - 1000 | 18 - 100 | Woman | The creatinine is outside normal limits and is too high. |
