Creatinine Clearance Test
About the Creatinine Clearance Test
Direct answer: The Creatinine Clearance Test measures how efficiently your kidneys filter waste from the blood.
The Creatinine Clearance Test uses both blood and 24-hour urine samples to calculate the kidney’s filtration rate. Micro-definition: Creatinine is a waste product produced by muscle metabolism and removed from the body by healthy kidneys; its clearance rate reflects kidney function. This test is commonly advised to assess renal health in people with diabetes, hypertension or suspected kidney disorders. In Pune, Maharashtra, this test is available with Home Collection Facility and Direct Walk-in Facility at healthcare nt sickcare. Learn more about creatinine clearance.
Clinical Significance – What This Test Indicates
Direct answer: It determines the kidney’s ability to filter blood and detect early renal impairment.
Low creatinine clearance values may indicate reduced kidney function, while normal values suggest healthy filtration. Doctors may recommend this test to monitor chronic kidney disease, medication effects on kidneys or unexplained changes in urine output.
Specimens Required for Creatinine Clearance Test
- 10 ml urine from 24-hour collected whole urine in a sterilised plastic or glass bottle.
- Blood specimen collected any time during the day.
