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 measures the amount of creatinine in your blood and evaluates kidney function by determining the efficiency with which your kidneys remove waste products from your body.
Any form of kidney infection puts a person at risk. These infections might be caused by bacteria that enter the urinary tract and make their way to the kidneys.
Diabetes patients are more prone to develop kidney issues, regardless of the form of the disease.The kidneys' filtration organs may eventually suffer damage as a result of elevated blood sugar levels.
Renal infections and diabetic renal disease may exhibit comparable symptoms.
Diabetes-related kidney infections and issues need to be identified early on and treated appropriately.
Physicians use this test to check for problems with the kidneys.
They could advise it if you have kidney-damaging diseases, diabetes, or high blood pressure.
It is typically carried out in tandem with other examinations, such as the blood urea nitrogen (BUN) test.
These tests provide a more complete picture of kidney function when combined.
Sometimes it's a routine test that's included in larger packages that evaluate overall health.
This makes it possible for doctors to keep an eye on you and spot kidney issues early.
These tests are meant to screen for kidney illnesses, such as chronic kidney disease and acute renal failure.
They can also demonstrate how issues with the liver and heart affect the kidneys.
They support both long-term kidney function monitoring and early diagnosis of renal disorders.
They also show whether other medical conditions are aggravating kidney problems.

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.
