So let's wrap up this
part of the video series.

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

00:42
Healthy kidneys should maintain
a normal range of creatinine,
elevated creatinine

with further assessment and
