Test Detail

ENZYMATIC Creatinine, SERUM

Enzymatic creatinine is a modern, highly specific method for measuring creatinine in blood and urine to assess kidney function, using a series of enzymes to convert creatinine into a measurable substance. This method offers greater accuracy and reliability compared to the older Jaffe method, with minimal interference from other substances like bilirubin, glucose, and certain medications. It is particularly valuable for pediatric and kidney patients, and it is essential for calculating the glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
