(redirected fromSerum creatinine) Medical Acronyms Encyclopedia Related to Serum creatinine:blood urea cre·at·i·nine (krē-ăt′n-ēn′, -ĭn) n. A creatine anhydride, C4H7N3O, formed by the metabolism of creatine, that is found in muscle tissue and blood and normally excreted in the...
Background: Serum creatinine (Cr) is a biosynthetic product of creatine phosphate metabolism in muscles and is closely related to total muscle mass, but it is not easily affected by diet. Several studies have tried to explore the role of serum Cr levels in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS),...

The mean serum creatinine value was 0.96 mg/dL for women in the United States and 1.16 mg/dL for men. Overall mean creatinine levels were highest in non-Hispanic blacks (women, 1.01 mg/dL; men, 1.25 mg/dL), lower in non-Hispanic whites (women, 0.97 mg/dL; men, 1.16 mg/dL), and...
Validated equations like Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) and Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) are used for eGFR taking into consideration age, sex, ethnicity and serum creatinine levels. In the present study GFR was estimated for 90 CKD patients (average ...
Harel and colleagues plotted mean serum creatinine levels weekly in 243,534 pregnant women. There were 361,945 measurements taken during the study. Among pregnant women, serum creatinine concentrations quickly dropped in the first tr...
measuring serum creatinine level is a practical approach for discovering short-term alteration in renal function, despite its limitations, because it is readily used in clinical practice and it is specific for renal function.[20,21]In patients with stable renal function, those levels are constant,...
The distribution of the change in serum creatinine values is depicted in Figure 1. Mean hypothyroid creatinine levels were significantly greater than mean S-Cr at 102 vs 75 µmol/L (1.15 vs 0.85-mg/dL), respectively (P<.001), a 26-µmol/L (0.3-mg/dL) or 35.2% difference. Among...
