Creatinine

Definition: Creatinine is a waste product that is produced by the muscles from the breakdown of a compound called creatine. It is usually removed from the blood by the kidneys and excreted in the urine. The level of creatinine in the blood can be an indicator of kidney function.

Examples:

• The doctor ordered a creatinine test to assess the health of the patient's kidneys.
• High levels of creatinine in the blood may indicate kidney problems.
• A low creatinine clearance rate can signify impaired kidney function.
