24 HOUR URINE CREATININE CLEARANCE TEST RESULTS-
ABOUT TEST-
- Creatinine test, also known as a urine urea creatinine test, is done to determine how effectively your kidneys are operating.
- Creatinine is a waste product of regular muscle tissue breakdown. It is produced by your body and filtered via your kidneys before being excreted in urine.
- The creatinine clearance rate measures your kidneys' ability to manage creatinine, and it helps determine the glomerular filtration rate, which measures how quickly blood moves through your kidneys.
PREPARATION BEFORE TEST-
- No specific preparations required for the test.
- Alcohol consumption is not advised before the test.
- Follow the instructions correctly that are given by your healthcare assistant.
WHY DO A PATIENT NEED THIS TEST-

METHOD OF DOING THIS TEST IN DIAGNOSTICS WORLD-
URINE TEST-
- You’ll have to collect your urine for 24 hours, and this test is called 24 hours urine sample test.
- A healthcare provider or a professional in a laboratory will provide you with a container and some instructions, which will be as follows-
- You have to empty your bladder in the morning and do not collect that urine.
- For the next 24 hours, you have to collect the urine in the container given by the healthcare provider.
- Keep the container in a refrigerator.
- Return the container to the laboratory.
BLOOD TEST-
- Doctors can calculate GFR by entering a single blood creatinine level into a calculation.
- Different algorithms take your age, sex, weight, and ethnicity into account.
- The lower the estimated GFR and creatinine clearance, the greater the blood creatinine level.
24 HOUR URINE CREATININE CLEARANCE TEST RESULTS-
- Calculated on GFR rate
| Stage | GFR | Kidney state |
| 1. | <90 GFR | NORMAL |
| 2. | 60-89 GFR | MILD DECLINE |
| 3A. | 45-59 GFR | MILD TO MODERATE DECLINE |
| 3B. | 30-44 GFR | MODERATE TO SEVERE |
| 4. | 15-29 GFR | SEVERE DECLINE |
| 5. | >15 | KIDNEY FAILURE |
