About This Test
The Spot Urinary Creatinine test measures the concentration of creatinine in a single, random urine sample.
Creatinine is a breakdown product of creatine phosphate in muscle, produced at a fairly constant rate and excreted unchanged by the kidneys. Therefore, its concentration in urine reflects both Kidney excretory function, and Urine concentration (hydration status).
The spot urine creatinine value is often used to normalize other spot urine test results (e.g., protein/creatinine, calcium/creatinine ratios).
