Creatinine - urine

Normal values are highly dependent on the age and lean body mass of the person the urine is being collected from. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Urine creatine (24-hour sample) values may therefore be quite variable and can range from 500 mg/day to 2000 mg/day.

Abnormal results of urine creatinine and creatinine clearance are often non-specific, but may include the following conditions:

• Glomerulonephritis
• Pyelonephritis
• Reduced renal blood flow (as in shock or congestive heart failure)
• Renal failure
• Rhabdomyolysis
• Urinary tract obstruction
• Muscular dystrophy (late stage)
• Myasthenia gravis
• High meat diet

• Complicated UTI (pyelonephritis)
• Prerenal azotemia
