Creatinine Test In Howrah - Price & Details

Creatinine, a chemical compound, is a residue of energy-producing processes taking place in our muscles. Healthy kidneys are capable of filtering out creatinine from our blood and expelling it as a part of urine. Doctors often use BUN and creatinine tests to get an idea of how well an individual’s kidneys are working. Note that the BUN test is also known as the blood urea nitrogen test and is also used to evaluate the functioning capability of one’s kidney.

In case an individual is exhibiting signs or symptoms of kidney disease, their doctor might order a creatinine test to ensure proper diagnosis. It is also ordered for patients diagnosed with conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure, which increase the risk of kidney diseases. In case you are diagnosed with kidney disease, your doctor will order a creatinine test to check the progression of kidney disease treatment. It is also ordered by doctors to check for side effects of drugs that are capable of causing kidney damage.

No special preparation or fasting is required for patients to take the creatinine test. But, we recommend avoiding eating meat for at least 24 hours before the scheduled test time. You must also ensure that your doctor knows about any medication (OTC or prescribed) you are taking. This is because consumption of meat and specific drugs can skew the results and ensuring your doctor knows about these is the best way to ensure an accurate diagnosis.

During the Creatinine Test

Once you have booked the creatinine test, our vaccinated and expert phlebotomist will visit your home to collect test samples at the scheduled slot. They use vein finders to precisely locate your vein and draw blood for samples using sealed and sterilised needles.
