What is Kidney Function Test Essentials Guide about?

1. Creatinine is a waste product derived from creatine and phosphocreatine in muscles. It is filtered by the kidneys and excreted in urine. 2. Serum creatinine levels are affected by gender, age, weight, lean body mass, and dietary protein intake. Creatinine levels are inversely related to glomerular filtration rate (GFR). 3. Even when GFR has dropped up to 50%, plasma creatinine may still be within the normal range. Creatinine alone is not sufficient to determine kidney function and estimate GFR.
