About this test

What Do Creatinine Levels Tell You?

  • Kidney Function Marker: High blood creatinine levels (serum creatinine) indicate that the kidneys may not be working correctly.
  • Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR): Because serum creatinine varies by muscle mass, doctors often calculate the GFR—a more accurate measure of how fast your kidneys filter blood—using the creatinine value, age, and sex.

Causes of High Creatinine Levels

Elevated creatinine does not always indicate permanent kidney disease; it can be caused by:

  • Temporary Issues: Dehydration, high dietary meat consumption, or intense exercise.
  • Kidney Disease/Injury: Acute kidney injury (AKI) or chronic kidney disease (CKD).
  • Other Factors: Muscle disorders, injuries, and certain medications.

Causes of Low Creatinine Levels

Low levels are less common and may indicate malnutrition, severe liver disease, or conditions causing muscle loss/wasting.

Preparation

  • No fasting is needed for this test. You can book any available slot.
  • Keep your doctor’s prescription or test request handy if you have one, and take regular medicines as your doctor has advised.
  • Tell the sample collector if you take blood thinners, and wear a sleeve that rolls above the elbow.
