Understanding Serum Creatinine in Mumbai
What is Serum Creatinine in Mumbai?
The Serum Creatinine test measures the level of creatinine in the blood and is available at an affordable price in Mumbai with Tata 1mg labs. Creatinine is a natural waste product in the blood and urine and is removed via the kidneys. Your doctor may advise this test to evaluate your kidneys' health or to detect kidney diseases. It also serves as a valuable tool to monitor ongoing treatment response for known kidney disease.
Abnormally high levels of creatinine warn of a possible malfunction, damage, or failure of the kidneys. Creatinine levels can be naturally decreased by changing diet and lifestyle and reducing protein intake. If the creatinine levels are still high, your doctor will recommend a treatment plan.
What does Serum Creatinine measure?
The Serum Creatinine test measures the level of creatinine in the blood. Creatinine is a byproduct of muscles’ wear and tear during energy production. The kidneys remove it from the body by filtering it from the blood and releasing it into the urine. Therefore, blood creatinine levels indicate how well the kidneys are functioning in filtering and removing waste products from the blood. Generally, higher creatinine levels in the blood may indicate reduced kidney function, while lower levels may suggest decreased muscle mass.
