Creatinine Test In Coimbatore - Price & Details

Creatinine is a waste product produced when the body breaks down creatine, supplying energy to cells. Testing creatinine levels is crucial as it indicates how well the kidneys are functioning. Creatinine tests are prescribed for various conditions, including malnutrition, diabetes, and high blood pressure. It is also part of routine physicals and before surgeries to assess kidney health.

Following symptoms may signal kidney problems:

• Changes in urine frequency or appearance
• Nausea
• Fatigue
• Lower back pain

Abnormal creatinine levels are not a problem in themselves but indicate an underlying issue. High levels may signal conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, or kidney problems, while low levels are often related to factors like low muscle mass or old age.

Low creatinine levels are often seen in individuals with conditions like low muscle mass, advanced age, or malnutrition. Prolonged illness, especially in bed-bound patients, can also contribute to decreased creatinine levels.
