Creatine
Explanation: Creatine is a naturally occurring amino acid derivative found primarily in muscle tissue. It's synthesized in the liver, pancreas, and kidneys. It is used as a quick source of energy during short, intense bursts of activity. Creatine also comes from foods like meat and fish or as a supplement.
Test purpose:
- Monitor creatine supplement: Blood tests can monitor creatine levels to assess supplementation efficacy or to manage potential side effects.
- Assess kidney function: Since creatine is metabolized to creatinine, which is excreted by the kidneys, measuring creatine can sometimes complement assessments of kidney function, though creatinine is the primary marker used.
