| creatinine |
A blood and urinary chemical that is used to estimate overall kidney function. It is produced by the muscles at a regular, predictable rate and excreted by the kidneys through simple filtration. If the blood creatinine level becomes too high, it often means that not enough blood is being filtered by the kidneys. A serum creatinine up to 1.5 to 2.0 is generally considered normal, but lower numbers are usually better.

| creatinine clearance |
A calculated value that is a good indicator of kidney function. Since serum creatinine is filtered by the kidneys based on kidney function, it is possible to measure the total urinary creatinine passed in 24 hours and calculate how much blood was filtered by the kidneys in that time to produce the creatinine found in the sample. It comes out to about 100 cc's per minute. Anything below 30 cc's is considered to be kidney failure.
