Blood creatinine levels are checked to assess kidney function. Creatinine is a waste product in your blood that comes from normal muscle wear and tear. The kidneys are responsible for the removal of creatinine from the blood, so if your kidney function declines, creatinine levels in the blood r...
A creatinine test, also called a serum creatinine test, measures how well your kidneys are working. Creatinine is a waste product from the normal breakdown of muscle tissue. As your body makes it, it's filtered through yourkidneysand expelled in urine. Doctors use your creatinine levels to es...
High creatinine levels that reach 2.0 or more in babies and 5.0 or more in adults may indicate severe kidney impairment. Any creatinine blood test level that is over 1.3 should be investigated to determine the cause. What causes high and low creatinine blood test levels? What causes high creat...
If you are anyone you care about has ever been diagnosed with high creatinine levels, it is important to follow up with your doctor to try to get a diagnosis for the cause of this potentially dangerous condition. It is also a good idea to have your levels of creatinine checked periodically...
Serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen over a six-year period in the very old. Creatinine and BUN in the very old. In a population of 141 very elderly subjects, there was a small but significant decline in BUN and creatinine at 3 years, which persisted at 6 years althou... DA Feinfe...
Serum creatinine level was associated more strongly with past than with current blood pressure levels (Table). Limiting the analysis to participants who were not receiving antihypertensive therapy at the time of their blood pressure measurement in 1982 and 1983 had little effect on the results. Full...
Often, the physician may anticipate a decreased renal function from unanticipated high trough levels of a drug such as the antibiotic gentamicin, even if the increased drug levels occur prior to an obvious rise in serum creatinine. For a substance primarily excreted unchanged via the kidney, ...

When blood lead levels were divided into quartiles, it was found that participants' serum creatinine levels gradually increased with increasing blood lead levels (Q1: 0.77±0.19mg/dL, Q2: 0.84±0.23mg/ dL, Q3: 0.89±0.34mg/dL, Q4: 0.94±0.50mg/dL). Compared to the lowest serum quartile,...
Two different creatinine tests are used to determine the levels in your urine and blood:2 Serum creatinine (SCr), a blood test, reveals how much creatinine is circulating in the bloodstream. Since the rate of production and excretion is relatively steady, any increases above the expected range ...
