Test Details

The Creatinine, Serum test is a blood test that measures the level of creatinine in the bloodstream. Creatinine is a waste product produced by the muscles during normal metabolic processes. Monitoring creatinine levels is essential for assessing kidney function and overall health.

Blood Sample Collection: A healthcare provider will collect a blood sample from a vein in your arm using a needle and syringe.

Laboratory Analysis: The blood sample is sent to a laboratory, where it undergoes analysis to measure the concentration of creatinine in the serum.

Typically, no specific preparation is required for the Creatinine, Serum test. However, it's essential to follow any instructions provided by your healthcare provider regarding fasting or medication restrictions before the test.

The blood draw may cause a brief pinch or discomfort when the needle is inserted into your arm. Afterward, there may be some temporary bruising or soreness at the blood collection site.

Normal results for the Creatinine, Serum test indicate that the levels of creatinine in the bloodstream fall within a healthy range for your age and gender.
