What is URINARY CREATININE?

This test measures the amount of creatinine in your urine, typically collected over a 24-hour period. Creatinine is a waste product produced by your muscles, and its levels can reflect kidney function.

Why is this test important?

Urinary creatinine levels are essential for assessing kidney function and are often used to normalize other substances measured in urine. Abnormal levels can indicate kidney disease or issues with urine collection accuracy.

How to Prepare

You will need to collect all urine passed over a 24-hour period. Specific instructions for collection and storage will be provided upon booking.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on the test. Tests like lipid profile and fasting blood sugar require 10-12 hours of fasting. Tests like CBC, vitamin D, and thyroid do not require fasting. Each test page on our website clearly states the fasting requirements.
