The creatinine test serves various purposes, including:

• Checking the overall health of your kidneys
• Diagnosing kidney disease
• Monitoring existing kidney issues and evaluating the effectiveness of treatment

Checking for potential side effects from medicines that might impact your kidneys

However, relying solely on creatinine testing may not provide a comprehensive assessment of kidney function, as creatinine levels can vary based on factors such as muscle mass, diet, age, and activity levels.

Your provider may suggest a creatinine test as a routine part of assessing kidney health. This test becomes particularly relevant if you experience symptoms indicative of kidney disease, such as swelling in hands and feet, dry skin, itching, numbness, fatigue, changes in urination patterns, bloody or foamy urine, loss of appetite and weight, muscle cramps, nausea and vomiting, shortness of breath, sleep problems, or trouble thinking clearly.

Moreover, if you fall into a high-risk category for developing kidney disease, especially due to factors like diabetes, high blood pressure, a family history of kidney disease or related conditions, heart disease, age over 50, smoking, or obesity, your provider may recommend regular creatinine tests. Additionally, if you have a history of kidney problems or potential issues, including abnormal results on past kidney tests, diagnosed kidney disease, use of medications affecting the kidneys, or a history of kidney transplant, a creatinine test may be part of your ongoing health monitoring.

Your provider will provide specific instructions for your test preparation. This may include a recommendation to avoid meat consumption 24 hours before the test, as it can temporarily elevate creatinine levels. It's essential to inform your provider about all medications and supplements you are taking, as certain substances can impact test results. However, do not discontinue any medication unless advised by your provider.
