What is a CREATININE SERUM?

A serum creatinine test is a blood examination that assesses kidney function by measuring the level of creatinine in the patient’s blood. Creatinine is the waste product generated by muscle activity, which generally gets excreted by the kidney after filtering creatinine from blood. Creatinine serum test plays a pivotal role in monitoring kidney function, where it lacks functioning properly. This leads to creatinine getting stored in blood indicating potential kidney damage.
