17
Q

• Most widely used marker for GFR

A

Creatinine

18
Q

Creatinine

Advantages:

A

~ Endogenous substance with constant rate of production

~ Not bound to plasma proteins
Not reabsorbed by the tubules

~ Only a small amount is secreted by the tubules

19
Q

Creatinine

Disadvantages:

A

× Depends mainly on muscle mass
× Quantity of meat ingestion can substantially influence the total
daily production
× Method is subjected to many interferences

20
Q

The Diagnostic Function of
Creatinine

If the kidneys are damaged or impaired and cannot work normally

The amount of creatinine in urine goes____ while its level in blood goes____

Creatinine has been found to be a fairly reliable indicator of kidney function.

Serum creatinine level is an important diagnostic tool to asses renal function

21
Q

How is Creatinine Used to Monitor Renal Function..?

In renal failure the kidney will not be able to excrete creatinine in urine leading to an_____ in serum creatinine level.

22
Q

Is there other factors mav affect creatinine level in the blood…’
?

A

The amount of muscle tissue you have.

Protein in diet.

23
Q

:
Measures how well creatinine is removed from blood by kidneys which reflects glomerular filtration rate (GFR)]

A

Creatinine Clearance Test

24
Q

41
interfering substances
False increase; reacts with picrate solution • Ascorbic Acid • Glucose • Protein, urea • Alpha-keto acids/ ketones • Cephalosporins, Dopamine, Lidocaine false decrease • Hemoglobin and bilirubin • Uric acid - Decreased in kinetic methods
