Kidney levels
Kidney function tests help determine how well your kidneys are working. Kidney function levels are examined by measuring substances in the blood that are excreted through the kidneys. If excretion is disrupted due to a temporary cause or kidney disease, the amount of substance in the blood increases. Creatinine is most often used for this purpose.
Name and abbreviation of the test: CREATININE, CRFATININE CLEARANCE P -Krea
The creatinine clearance P-Krea test is used to evaluate kidney function levels. The reference values of the test are affected by the person’s muscle mass, age and gender, but the general reference values for women 18 years of age and older are 50–90 µmol/l and for men 18 years of age and older, 60–100 µmol/l.
