CREATININE RAND (U) 0008459

The creatinine can confirm normal function of your kidneys or help you monitor treatment for kidney disease. It is a routine test and is part of the comprehensive or basic metabolic panel. Your doctor would check this test as part of a general health analysis or if you suffer from a disease or disorder which affects the kidneys such as diabetes and needs to monitor its function. Certain medications which can affect the kidneys are also monitored by creatinine checks.
