Antigen name:
Creatinine;
Alternative:
General Annotation
Function:
Measuring serum creatinine is a simple test and it is the most commonly used indicator of renal function.In the United States, creatinine is typically reported in mg/dL, whereas, in Canada and a few European countries, μmol/litre may be used. 1mg/dL of creatinine is 88.4 μmol/L.
The typical human reference ranges for serum creatinine are 0.5 to 1.0mg/dL (about 45-90 μmol/L) for women and 0.7 to 1.2mg/dL (60-110 μmol/L) for men. While a baseline (medicine) serum creatinine of 2.0mg/dL (150 μmol/L) may indicate normal kidney function in a male body builder, a serum creatinine of 1.2mg/dL (110 μmol/L) can indicate significant renal disease in an elderly female. for male reference range are 60-120 μmol/L and for female it is 50-110 μmol/L.
Location:
Creatinine is a break-down product of creatine phosphate in muscle, and is usually produced at a fairly constant rate by the body (depending on muscle mass).
