Creatinine is a chemical byproduct formed naturally in your muscles during energy production. Healthy kidneys act as filters, constantly removing creatinine and other waste products from your blood. A creatinine test measures the amount of creatinine present in your bloodstream. This test serves as a key indicator of kidney function. Since healthy kidneys effectively remove creatinine, abnormally high levels in your blood can signal reduced kidney function or potential kidney damage. It is often used alongside other kidney function tests to diagnose and monitor kidney health.
