Urinary Creatinine (24Hrs)

CLINICAL BIOCHEMISTRY

Urinary Creatinine (24Hrs)

Also Known As: 24 hrs Creat
The Urinary Creatinine (24 Hours) test measures the total amount of creatinine excreted in urine over a 24-hour period. Creatinine is a waste product formed from the breakdown of creatine phosphate in muscles. It is produced at a fairly constant rate that depends mainly on muscle mass and is excreted by the kidneys almost entirely through glomerular filtration. This test helps assess: 1. Kidney function, particularly the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) 2. Accuracy of 24-hour urine collections (as creatinine excretion is relatively stable) 3. Muscle metabolism or muscle mass estimation

24 Hours Urine Sample Collection Instructions

1. Start your 24 hours urine collection in the morning.
2. Do not collect the first urine of the day, but mark this as your start time.
3. Collect all the urine for the next 24 hours in the collection container. In order to get correct results, it is important to collect every urine sample.
4. The last urine sample should be as close to the starting time as possible and must be saved.
5. Do not urinate into the main container directly as it might have potentially hazardous preservatives and you might get splashed.
6. If the container has a preservative, please mix every time you add urine to the container.
7. Please remember to keep urine in container in refrigerator or cool temperature.
8. Once the urine collection has been completed, the containers need to be taken to the lab as soon as possible.

1. What tests are done in Clinical Biochemistry?
These tests measure things like blood sugar, liver function, kidney function, cholesterol and
electrolytes.
2. Do I need to report fasting?before these tests?
No, Fasting is not required.
3. How soon will I get my reports?
Mon-Sat, sample before 4pm, report same day and sunday reports, next day.
4. Are biochemistry tests reliable?
Yes. We use fully automated machines that ensure accurate and consistent results.
5. Can these tests detect early health problems?
Yes — a 24-hour urinary creatinine test can help detect early health problems, particularly those related to kidney function and muscle metabolism.

The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:

  • Registration date and time
  • Type of scan or test
  • Scan time or sample collection time

In uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to test complexity or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed of the estimated TAT at the time of registration.
