Doctors measure the blood creatinine level as a test of kidney function. The kidneys' ability to handle creatinine is called the creatinine clearance rate, which helps to estimate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) -- the rate of blood flow through the kidneys.
Martin Luther King and MLK redirect here. For other uses, see Martin Luther King (disambiguation) and MLK (disambiguation). Martin Luther King Jr. (born Michael King Jr., January 15, 1929 â April 4, 1968) was an American Baptist minister and activist who was a leader in the African-American Civil Rights Movement.
King, also sometimes known as MLK, delivered it from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial August 28, 1963 during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Ironically, the famous I Have a Dream portion near the end was almost dropped from the speech because his advisors believed he had been over using the phrase.
