Low serum creatinine was significantly associated with knee OA-graded K-L severity in each sex-based group [β, -1.923; standard error, 0.478; p<0.001 for men and β, -1.532; SE, 0.575; p=0.008 for women]. Conclusion: Low serum creatinine level was associated with a higher...
Serum Creatinine Overview By: Jill Ferguson Creatinine is a chemical molecule in the blood. Its level in the blood is an indicator of how well the kidneys are working. © istockphoto/raycat Creatinine is a chemical molecule that is present in the serum (liquid portion) of the blood....
In underweight patients, a low serum creatinine may be more reflective of a decrease in production rather than an increased rate of renal elimination. Similarly to elderly patients, clinicians may be tempted to round creatinine in underweight patients to account for less muscle mass; however, this...
In fact, high serum creatinine levels correlate with low mortality in HD patients, presumably because the creatinine generation rate reflects the size of the muscle mass. Creatinine seems to be relatively nontoxic. Large amounts of creatinine have been fed to healthy subjects without any adverse ...

blood vessels and other cells inside nephrons. Most of the fluid is then reabsorbed back into the blood. Fluid and waste products that the kidneys don't reabsorb are sent out of your body in your urine. Your doctor can’t measure the GFR itself, so that's where serum creatinine comes...
serum as a measure of impairment of renal function and it might be expected that a variety of uremic symptoms correlate with the plasma creatinine level; this does not, however, necessarily imply a causal relationship. In fact, high serum creatinine levels correlate with low mortality in HD ...

Evaluation of serum creatinine alone may occasionally give misleading information regarding the level of renal function. If clinical evidence of uremia is present while serum creatinine value is relatively low, measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by Na-iothalamate 125I (OIT) or inulin ...
It is well recognized that serum creatinine level provides a quick general assessment of renal function. However, we frequently encounter elderly hypertensive patients with renal involvement whose serum creatinine levels are within normal limits. The aim of this study was thus to determine whether serum...
