Abstract:
Chronic kidney disease(CKD)is a major public health problem worldwide. Understanding by doctors and laboratorians of the importance of reliable serum creatinine measurement in GFR estimation and of factors that may affect creatinine measurement is critical to ongoing public health efforts to improve the diagnosis and treatment of patients with CKD.We present an overview of the commonly used methods,their performances and limitations and the required performance criteria for the measurement of serum creatinine.Available resources for standardization of serum creatinine measurements and recommendations for creatinine measurement and GFR estimations are introduced.
