Understanding the Creatinine Test

The Creatinine Serum Test measures the level of creatinine in your blood, which is an important marker for assessing kidney function. Creatinine is a waste product produced by the normal breakdown of muscle tissue. Healthy kidneys filter creatinine from the blood and expel it through urine. When the kidneys are not functioning properly, creatinine levels in the blood can rise, indicating potential kidney issues such as chronic kidney disease or acute kidney failure. This test is commonly included in a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) and is used to detect, monitor, and manage kidney-related health problems.

Creatinine Test Measures

Abnormal creatinine levels detected by the Creatinine Serum Test may indicate significant health risks related to kidney function. High creatinine levels can be a sign of kidney disease or kidney failure, especially when the kidneys are not filtering waste products properly. Conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or the side effects of certain medications may also elevate creatinine levels. Monitoring creatinine levels is essential for early detection of kidney issues, which can help prevent further damage or complications.

Understanding Creatinine Test

The creatinine test is a diagnostic blood test that measures the level of creatinine in your bloodstream. Creatinine is a waste product formed from the normal breakdown of muscle tissue. It is filtered out of the blood by the kidneys and excreted in urine. Elevated levels of creatinine may indicate impaired kidney function or kidney disease.

This test is often recommended as part of routine health screenings, particularly for those at risk of kidney disorders. With MaxAtHome, you can take the serum creatinine test at home, offering a convenient, hassle-free way to assess your kidney health.

Creatinine Test Measures

The serum creatinine test measures how much creatinine is present in your blood. Because creatinine is cleared from the body by the kidneys, this test is used to:

Assess kidney function
Support diagnosis of chronic kidney disease (CKD)
Evaluate the effectiveness of treatment for kidney-related conditions
Monitor kidney function in individuals with conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure

Doctors may also calculate the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using creatinine levels, age, sex, and other factors to provide a fuller picture of kidney performance.

Who Should Get Tested?

A creatinine blood test is usually recommended for:

Individuals with diabetes, hypertension, or other chronic illnesses
People with a family history of kidney disease
Those taking medications that may affect kidney function
Individuals who experience symptoms of kidney dysfunction
Patients with existing kidney disorders being monitored for disease progression

Symptoms That May Require This Test

Doctors may order a serum creatinine test if you present with:

Fatigue and muscle cramps
Swelling in hands, feet, or face
Frequent or painful urination
Foamy or bloody urine
Changes in urine output
Shortness of breath

Note: These symptoms can be associated with abnormal kidney function and warrant further evaluation.

How is the Test Done?

The process is quick and generally takes less than 10 minutes. With MaxAtHome, the creatinine test can be completed from the comfort of your home:

A trained phlebotomist will visit your location at a time you choose
A blood sample is drawn from a vein in your arm using sterile, single-use equipment
The sample is sent to a NABL-accredited lab for analysis
Results are securely delivered to you online

Preparation Before the Test

Most of the time, no special preparation is required. However:

Inform your doctor about any medications, including supplements, as some can affect creatinine levels
In some cases, your doctor may recommend fasting or avoiding heavy exercise the day before the test
Make sure you stay hydrated, unless instructed otherwise

Time Taken for Results

MaxAtHome delivers your serum creatinine test results within 24 to 48 hours of sample collection.

Reports are shared via email or SMS
You can also access and download them from the MaxAtHome website
Reports are formatted to help your doctor interpret the results easily

Understanding Your Test Results

Creatinine is measured in milligrams per decilitre (mg/dL) of blood. Normal ranges can vary based on age, sex, and muscle mass.

General Reference Ranges:

Men: 0.74 to 1.35 mg/dL
Women: 0.59 to 1.04 mg/dL
Children: 0.3 to 1.0 mg/dL

What High Creatinine Levels May Indicate:

Chronic kidney disease (CKD)
Severe dehydration
Obstruction in urinary tract
Certain medications or high-protein diets

What Low Creatinine Levels May Indicate:

Reduced muscle mass (common in the elderly)
Pregnancy
Liver disease

Your doctor may recommend further testing such as a CBC, urine creatinine test, or renal panel to assess kidney health more comprehensively.
