A creatinine blood test measures the level of creatinine in the blood. Creatinine is a waste product that forms when creatine breaks down. Creatine is a substance found in muscle. Creatinine levels help determine how well your kidneys function. Your kidneys are responsible for eliminating creatinine from the body when you urinate. When creatinine levels increase, your kidney function may be impaired.
Answer. Creatinine is a substance that is produced during the body's natural activity (metabolism). It is usually excreted (got rid of) from the body through the kidneys. If the kidneys start to become diseased, for whatever reason, the level of creatinine rises in the blood stream. It is the level in the blood stream that is usually measured in renal function tests and I presume that it is this level that you are referring to.
