24 Hrs Creatinine Clearance
Overview
The 24-hour creatinine clearance test measures kidney function by assessing how well the kidneys filter creatinine, a waste product, from the blood. It involves collecting all urine produced in a 24-hour period and also requires a blood sample for creatinine levels. The test calculates the clearance rate, which reflects the efficiency of the kidneys. Patients are usually instructed to start the collection after a specific time, ensuring all urine is collected in a provided container. Factors like diet, medications, and hydration can impact results. The test is useful for diagnosing kidney disorders, monitoring kidney function over time, and adjusting treatments. Accurate collection and adherence to instructions are crucial for reliable results.
