Creatinine Levels Describe Glomerular Filtration Rate Estimated Estimating

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) can be estimated by measuring blood creatinine levels, where higher concentrations indicate reduced kidney function.

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) can be estimated by measuring blood creatinine levels; higher levels suggest impaired kidney function.

Front Describe how glomerular filtration rate can be estimated.
Back Estimating GFR:
  • Measure creatinine (breakdown product of muscles) levels in blood 
  • If higher levels of creatinine - kidneys not working properly
