What Is the Urine Creatinine Test?

This test measures the concentration of creatinine in urine, often collected over a 24-hour period, to provide insight into kidney filtration efficiency. It is commonly used alongside blood creatinine levels to calculate creatinine clearance, offering a comprehensive view of kidney health.


Why Is the Test Important?

  1. Detects early signs of kidney dysfunction

  2. Helps diagnose acute or chronic kidney disease

  3. Monitors kidney function in patients receiving treatment

  4. Assesses muscle metabolism and overall health when combined with other markers


How the Test Is Performed

Patients collect all urine produced in 24 hours in a provided container to ensure accurate measurement. The sample is then analyzed in a lab, and results are interpreted by healthcare professionals along with other tests such as blood creatinine.


What Do Results Mean?

  • Elevated Urine Creatinine: Can indicate normal muscle metabolism or dehydration; typically analyzed with other values.

  • Low Urine Creatinine: May suggest kidney impairment or reduced muscle mass.

  • Combined with blood tests, this helps calculate kidney filtration rate (GFR), an important indicator of kidney function.
