Creatinine clearance test
定义
The creatinine clearance test helps provide information about how well the kidneys are working. The test compares the creatinine level in urine 与 creatinine level in blood.
选择的名字
Serum creatinine clearance; Kidney function - creatinine clearance; Renal function - creatinine clearance
How the Test is Performed
This test requires both a
How to Prepare for the Test
考试前, your health care provider may ask you to stop taking medicines that may affect the test results. These include some antibiotics 和 stomach acid medicines. Be sure to tell your provider about all the medicines you take.

When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing or a slight bruise. 这很快就会消失.
Why the Test is Performed
Creatinine is a waste product of creatine. Creatine is a chemical the body makes to supply energy, mainly to muscles.
The creatinine clearance test compares the
Creatinine is removed, or cleared, from the body by the kidneys. If kidney function is abnormal, creatinine level increases in the blood because less creatinine is excreted through the urine.
正常的结果
Clearance is often measured as milliliters per minute (mL/min) or milliliters per second (mL/s). 正常值为:
- Male: 97 to 137 mL/min (1.65 to 2.33毫升/秒).
- Female: 88 to 128 mL/min (14.96 to 2.18毫升/秒).
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor to know about the meaning of your specific test results.
What Abnormal Results Mean
Abnormal results (lower than normal creatinine clearance) may indicate:
-
Kidney problems, such as
damage to the tubule cells 肾功能衰竭 - Too little blood flow to the kidneys
Damage to the filtering units of the kidneys - Loss of body fluids (dehydration)
- Bladder outlet obstruction
- 心脏衰竭
风险
There is little risk involved with having your blood taken. Veins 和 arteries vary in size from one person to another 和 from one side of the body to the other. Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight, but may include:
- 大出血
- Fainting or feeling lightheaded
- Multiple punctures to locate veins
- Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)
- Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)
