What is the safe urinary creatinine value?
Urine is supposed to have creatinine in it. It's a waste product. The more creatinine it has, the more concentrated it is. It's not unsafe necessarily to have really concentrated urine, but it does put you at greater risk for kidney stones and UTIs.
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.
What are the possible sources of errors in the different methods used in creatinine?
(1) Secretion of creatinine. (2) Improperly time urine specimens. (3) Refrigeration of the urine. (4) Time of collecting blood sample.
How is the calculation of creatinine clearance from 24 hour urine collections done?
There is a special device called a toilet hat that you place in the toilet. It fits under the rim. You pee in it, take it out and empty it into a special collection jug set aside specifically for this purpose. After collection of the 24 hour excreted urine,creatinine clearance (CrCl) is calculated using the formula CrCl= (Ucr x V)/ (SrCr x t) where Ucr is creatinine concentration in urine V is volume of urine in ml SrCr is creatinine concentration in the serum and t is the time period of urine collection
Spot urine creatinine normal value?
40 to 300 mg/dl
What is found in urine?
creatinine
Where can you get Serum Creatinine?
urine
Where are the creatinine level higher in the condition of uroperitoneum?
Creatinine is a waste product that is normally excreted by the kidneys into the urine. Uroperitoneum is when urine is found in the abdominal cavity and is an abnormal condition. The creatinine from the urine is reabsorbed out of the abdominal cavity, thus increasing the blood levels of creatinine.
What does raised creatinine clearance mean?
Creatinine and creatinine clearance tests measure creatinine levels (the level of the waste product) in your blood and urine to give information about how well your kidneys are working. The substance creatine is formed when food is changed into energy through a process called metabolism. Creatine is broken down into another substance called creatinine, which is taken out of your blood by the kidneys and then passed out of your body in urine. Creatinine is made at a steady rate and is not affected by diet or by normal physical activities. If your kidneys are damaged and cannot work normally, the amount of creatinine in your urine goes down while its level in your blood goes up. The creatinine clearance value is found from the amounts of creatinine in the urine and blood and from the amount of urine you pass in 24 hours. This value is the amount of blood cleared of creatinine per minute, based on your body size.
What is urine creatinine?

What does high blood creatinine?
Creatinine is a waste product of our metabolism. Some factors that may lead to high urinary creatinine level are pregnancy,hypothyroidism,muscle injury(esp. crushing injury) and strenuous exercise.
What health conditions cause abnormal urine creatinine?
Higher than normal creatinine levels mean kidney disease. Too low means muscle wasting due to a disease like muscular dystrophy.

A protein metabolite found in skeletal muscle and excreted in urine?
Creatinine
