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.
