CREATININE, SERUM
No special preparation required.
Creatinine is a chemical compound left over from energy producing processes in your muscles. Healthy kidneys filter creatinine out of the blood & it exits your body as a waste product in urine. Your doctor prescribes this test if you have signs or symptoms of kidney disease; to screen for kidney disease if you have diabetes, high blood pressure or other conditions that increase the risk of kidney disease; to monitor kidney disease treatment; to monitor for side effects of drugs that may affect kidney function & to monitor if you have had a kidney transplant.
The test gauges blood creatinine levels and evaluates kidney function by calculating how well your kidneys remove waste from your body.
People who have different kinds of kidney infections are vulnerable. Bacteria that enter the urinary tract and travel to the kidneys may be the source of these infections.
Diabetics, whether type 1 or type 2, are more likely to have kidney problems. Over time, high blood sugar levels might harm the kidneys' filtration organs.
Diabetic kidney disease or kidney infections can both present with identical symptoms.
Renal infections and renal problems associated with diabetes must be managed early on with appropriate diagnosis and care.
This test is used by doctors to look for renal issues.
If you have kidney-harming disorders, diabetes, or high blood pressure, they could advise it.
Typically, it's performed in conjunction with other tests like BUN (blood urea nitrogen).
When taken as a whole, these tests provide a more accurate picture of kidney function.
Occasionally, it's a standard examination that's part of advanced packages that assess general health.
This enables medical professionals to monitor your health and identify kidney problems early.
These examinations are used to screen for kidney issues such as acute renal failure and chronic kidney disease.
They can also demonstrate the effects of liver and cardiac problems on the kidneys.
They aid in the early detection of renal diseases and the long-term monitoring of kidney function.
They also indicate whether the kidneys are having difficulties due to other medical issues.
No special preparation required.

Creatinine is the product of creatine metabolism. It is a measure of renal function used for Diagnosing and monitoring treatment of acute and Chronic Kidney Diseases (CKD). KDIGO Clinical Practice Guidelines recommend clinical Laboratories should report estimated GFR (eGFR) in addition to the serum creatinine concentration in adults. It is considered as the best overall index of kidney function in health and disease. Estimated GFR is especially important in patients with CKD for monitoring and to identify disease at early stage in those with risk factors for CKD (diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and family history of kidney disease). Early recognition and intervention are important in slowing the progression of CKD and preventing its complications
Blood contains plasma proteins that cause it to clot in cases of cuts and injuries. However, people suffering from hemophilia disease have a deficiency of these essential proteins, which affects their blood’s ability to clot and causes excessive bleeding. ...This article provides valuable insights into childhood haemophilia and its various aspects.
Haemophilia in children is a rare medical condition that affects blood clotting ability. Understanding its types, causes, complications, and symptoms is essential for ensuring early diagnosis and tailored treatment strategies. ...This article provides valuable insights into childhood haemophilia and its various aspects.
