Understanding Creatinine with eGFR (18 Years & Above) in Ludhiana


What is Creatinine with eGFR (18 Years & Above) in Ludhiana?

Available at an affordable price in Ludhiana with Tata 1mg labs, the Creatinine with eGFR (18 Years & Above) test tells about your kidney function. This test measures the level of creatinine, a waste product produced by muscles from the breakdown of a compound called creatine. The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is a measure of how well your kidneys are filtering waste from your blood, calculated based on your creatinine levels, age, gender, and other factors. 

This test is often performed when individuals experience symptoms suggestive of kidney dysfunction such as urinary changes, swelling in the feet, loss of appetite, and fatigue. Also, the Creatinine with eGFR (18 Years & Above) test is critical for individuals who have chronic kidney disease or are at risk of developing it. It helps doctors to categorize the level of kidney disease and decide on the appropriate management or treatment. 

No fasting is required for this test; you can eat and drink as per your daily routine. However, tell your age, gender, and height to the sample collection professional ( phlebotomist) at the time of sample collection.

What does Creatinine with eGFR (18 Years & Above) measure?

Contains 2 tests

The Creatinine with eGFR (18 Years & Above) test measures two different parameters of the kidney function test: Creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate in the blood. Creatinine is a byproduct of muscles’ wear and tear during energy production. The kidneys remove creatinine from the body by filtering it from the blood and releasing it into the urine. Therefore, blood creatinine levels are an indicator of how well the kidneys are functioning in filtering and removing waste products from the blood. On the other hand, eGFR numerates how much blood passes through the glomeruli, the tiny filters in the kidneys that filter waste from the blood, each minute.

Creatinine levels in conjunction with estimated glomerular filtration rate along with other factors such as age, gender, and body size provide a more comprehensive indicator of kidney function.

eGFR

The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) test is a critical measurement used to assess kidney function by estimating the rate at which blood is filtered through the glomeruli, the tiny structures in the kidneys responsible for filtering waste products and excess fluids from the bloodstream. It provides a numerical value that indicates how effectively the kidneys are performing this essential filtration process. A normal eGFR suggests healthy kidney function, while a lower eGFR may indicate reduced kidney function, which can be indicative of various conditions such as chronic kidney disease (CKD), diabetes-related kidney damage (diabetic nephropathy), hypertension-related kidney damage, or other kidney disorders. eGFR is typically calculated using a formula that takes into account factors such as age, gender, race, and serum creatinine levels—a waste product from muscle activity that the kidneys remove from the blood. Doctors use eGFR results to diagnose kidney disease, assess its severity, monitor progression over time, and determine appropriate treatment strategies to manage and potentially slow the decline in kidney function. Regular monitoring of eGFR is crucial for individuals at risk of kidney disease or those with pre-existing conditions to ensure early detection and timely intervention, thereby optimizing kidney health and overall well-being.

Serum Creatinine

The Serum Creatinine test measures the level of creatinine in the blood. Creatinine is a byproduct of muscles’ wear and tear during energy production. The kidneys remove it from the body by filtering it from the blood and releasing it into the urine. Therefore, blood creatinine levels indicate how well the kidneys are functioning in filtering and removing waste products from the blood. Generally, higher creatinine levels in the blood may indicate reduced kidney function, while lower levels may suggest decreased muscle mass.

Frequently Asked Questions about Creatinine with eGFR (18 Years & Above) in Ludhiana

Q. What is the Creatinine with eGFR (18 Years & Above) test used for?

If it does not get better, consult your doctor.

Q. How often should I go for the Creatinine with eGFR (18 Years & Above) test?

The frequency of the Creatinine with eGFR (18 Years & Above) test depends on various factors including your age, health conditions, and risk factors for kidney disease. Your doctor will recommend how often you should get the test.
