24 Hrs Urinary Creatinine Clearance

Overview: The 24-Hour Urinary Creatinine Clearance Test measures how effectively your kidneys are filtering creatinine from the blood into the urine over a 24-hour period. This test helps assess kidney function and detect potential kidney disorders.

What It Detects: Kidney function efficiency, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). It is often used to evaluate kidney damage and overall renal health.

Who Should Get It? Individuals with diabetes, high blood pressure, chronic kidney disease, or symptoms of kidney dysfunction such as swelling, fatigue, or frequent urination. It is also recommended for those undergoing routine kidney function assessments.

Sample Required: 24-hour urine collection and a blood sample (sometimes required for comparison).

Fasting Requirements: Not required, but hydration and dietary restrictions may be advised by the doctor.

Processing Time: Results available within 24-48 hours.
