Description
The urinary creatinine test measures the level of creatinine in the urine. Creatinine is a waste product produced by muscles from the breakdown of a compound called creatine. The kidneys filter creatinine from the blood into the urine, and the amount of creatinine excreted in the urine reflects the kidney's ability to function properly. Abnormal levels of creatinine in the urine can indicate kidney dysfunction or other medical conditions.
