Creatinine is a waste product that is produced by all the muscles of the body. It is created as a by-product of the process of converting glucose into energy. It is then collected by the blood and taken to the kidneys, where the blood is filtered, and the unwanted creatine is flushed out of the body through urine.

If the kidneys are functioning properly, creatinine levels in your blood will be very low. But, if the kidneys are struggling to remove creatinine through urine, then creatinine will build up in the blood. The creatinine test can find out what your blood creatinine levels are.

However, the creatinine test is not always a conclusive test. High creatinine levels can also be triggered by other factors such as a clogged urinary tract, certain medication, a high protein diet, or dehydration.

That is why doctors prescribe companion tests along with creatine tests, most notably the Kidney Function Test.

Several factors contribute to the variability in the cost of a Creatinine test. Nevertheless, the standard price for a Creatinine test at PharmEasy in Amritsar is usually between INR 135 and INR 329.

There are several reasons why one might need a creatinine test-

• When one starts showing the signs of a kidney disorder, this test helps to know for sure if there is a kidney problem.
• To check if the kidneys are damaged if you are a person with risk factors of kidney disease such as high blood pressure, obesity or diabetes.
• It can help to see if the kidney disorder is progressing or if the medication is working.
• To gauge how well your body is adapting to a transplanted kidney and confirm that the new kidney is functioning properly.
• To find out if certain medications for other diseases which have a possibility of harming the kidneys is hampering kidney function

If you are undergoing just the creatinine blood test, you will not need to fast. It is actually advisable to eat and drink fluids like you normally do. You may be asked to refrain from eating red meat or too much protein as both may raise your creatinine levels. Let your doctor know if you are already taking certain medications.

If your doctor has asked for more tests along with creatine, you will be informed about the preparations needed.

During the Creatinine Blood Test

When it's time for the creatinine test, a phlebotomist will be sent to your house from PharmEasy Labs. To eliminate the possibility of discomfort, a vein finder will be used to locate the correct vein. With a new needle and syringe, a very small volume of your blood will be drawn which will be analysed for creatinine levels. The sample is then securely sealed for transportation to the laboratories.
