Creatinine (Urine)
The Creatinine (Urine) test measures the amount of creatinine excreted in urine. Creatinine is a waste product produced by muscle metabolism and is commonly used to help assess kidney function and urinary excretion. This test measures creatinine levels in a urine sample. Urine creatinine testing is often used alongside blood creatinine to provide additional information about kidney function and how effectively the kidneys are filtering waste.
