Is a creatinine serum test and CEA the same thing?
No, a creatinine serum test measures the level of creatinine in the blood to assess kidney function, while CEA (carcinoembryonic antigen) is a tumor marker that can be elevated in certain cancers, particularly colorectal cancer. They are different tests used for different purposes in healthcare.
What is 1.4 serum creatinine?
That is at the high end of normal. It also depends on whether you are a female or a male. Females generally have a lower serum creatinine level because they generally have a lower muscle mass than males. Creatinine is a byproduct of the breakdown product of creatine, which is an important part of muscle tissue. It is normal for the body to breakdown muscle as it also builds up muscle to maintain homeostasis. So the 1.4 serum creatinine was a result of a test your doctor gave you to check how your kidneys are functioning, and 1.4 is within a normal range.
How does one prepare for a creatinine test?

Do you need to fast for bun and creatinine test?
There is no need to fast for a bun and creatinine test.
Can a creatinine of 10.2 drop to 2.8 in 7 hours after dialysis?
Serum Creatinine is probably the most widely used measure of evaluating renal function. Creatinine is a non-protein waste product of creatine phosphate metabolism by skeletal muscle tissue. Creatinine production is continuous and is proportional to muscle mass. Some people may find they have a higher creatinine level on the routine test, so what does that mean? Is it severe?
Do you need to fast for BUN and Creatinine lab test?
There is no need to fast for a bun and creatinine test.
What is the creatinine test?
Creatinine test. This test measures blood levels of creatinine, a by-product of muscle energy metabolism that, similar to urea, is filtered from the blood by the kidneys and excreted into the urine.
Will a drug test come out negative if you put a drop of water into the urine?
