The level of creatinine is used:

for the assessment of renal function,
in diagnosing and monitoring the treatment of renal diseases.

The test results are used for diagnosing:

acute and chronic renal diseases,
circulatory failure,
monitoring arterial hypertension,
diabetes,
during treatment with neurotoxic substances or drugs excreted through the kidneys (dose adjustment).

Elevated creatinine levels occur in acute and chronic renal failure, as well as during improper renal function due to dehydration (mainly in the elderly). Low creatinine levels occur in the course of starvation or steroid therapies.
