00:01 So let's wrap up this part of the video series. 00:03 Example of a normal range for creatinine clearance is between 97 and a 137, for males, little bit lower for females 88 and 128 for females. 00:14 Urine creatinine is also called the creatinine clearance test. 00:19 So when you see it ordered as a urine creatinine, you'll know that's what we'll be doing. 00:24 That's different than when we talk about a serum creatinine test referring to your blood. 00:29 Okay so urine creatinine requires a complete and we've talked about that 24-hour urine sample that must be kept cold at all times. 00:37 I know it's a little weird but you want to limit bacterial growth. 00:42 Healthy kidneys should maintain a normal range of creatinine, elevated creatinine indicates a renal problem. 00:49 That we're going to have to follow up with further assessment and there are several possible acute and chronic causes. 00:56 Thank you for watching our video today.
