WHAT IS CREATININE?

𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐈𝐒 𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐄?

✅ Creatinine is a waste product made by your muscles as part of regular, everyday activity.

✅ Your kidneys filter creatinine from your blood and send it out of the body in your urine.

✅ CREATININE can be maintained at normal level because our KIDNEYS remove creatinine from blood.

✅ A serum creatinine blood test can help doctors understand how well your kidneys are functioning.

✅ Creatinine can be tested in blood or urine.

✅ SERUM CREATININE is imperfect and NOT 100% ACCURATE.
