It's included in the HealthieOne Complete test.
Creatinine
Explanation: Creatinine is a waste product that comes from the normal breakdown of creatine, a substance used by the muscles for energy. It is transported through the bloodstream to the kidneys, where it is filtered out and excreted in urine. Since creatinine is produced steadily and removed by the kidneys, its levels in the blood are a good indicator of kidney function.
Test purpose:
- Check kidney function (chronic or acute kidney disease): High creatinine levels may mean your kidneys are not filtering waste properly.
- Creatinine levels can reflect muscle mass and hydration status.
