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.
Creatinine clearance is a measure of the kidney's ability to filter waste products, like creatinine, from the blood. It is calculated using a formula that takes into account a person's age, weight, and gender. The creatinine clearance value helps healthcare providers assess kidney function and determine appropriate treatments.
Normal creatinine clearance is 110 to 150 ml / min. exact value is only measured on collecting 24 hour urine, but 2hour urine sample in critically ill patients almost simulate to the 24 hour value
No, creatinine kinase and creatinine are not the same. Creatinine kinase is an enzyme found in muscle cells, while creatinine is a waste product produced by muscle metabolism. Measuring creatinine levels in the blood is a common way to assess kidney function, while creatinine kinase levels are often monitored in conditions affecting muscles, such as heart attacks or muscular dystrophy.
No, creatinine and creatinine kinase are not the same. Creatinine is a waste product produced by muscles from the breakdown of creatine, whereas creatinine kinase is an enzyme found in muscles and other tissues that plays a role in energy production. Creatinine levels are commonly used to assess kidney function, while creatinine kinase levels are used to detect muscle damage.
"High BUN-to-creatinine ratios occur with sudden (acute) kidney failure, which may be caused by conditions such as shock or severe dehydration. An obstruction in the urinary tract (such as from a kidney stone) can cause an elevated BUN-to-creatinine ratio. A very high BUN-to-creatinine ratio may be caused by bleeding in the digestive tract or respiratory tract."
urea and creatinine
Yes, the urinary system helps to remove metabolic waste products from the blood. The kidneys filter the blood to remove waste products like urea, creatinine, and excess water, which are then excreted in the form of urine.
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.
The two main wastes removed by the urinary system from the blood are urea and creatinine. Urea is a byproduct of protein metabolism, while creatinine is a waste product of muscle metabolism.
The normal value of creatinine in blood is 0.2-1.2 mg/dl.

25-200 U/L
In a 24-hour period, the normal creatinine level of a urine sample can be from 500 to 2000 mg/day. The reason for this test is to evaluate kidney function.

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.
The normal value of 24-hour creatinine clearance in mice is approximately 0.5-1.0 ml/min. This parameter is commonly used to assess renal function in preclinical studies involving mice.
