Creatinine Clearance Rate Price in Bangladesh

What is Creatinine Clearance Rate?

The Creatinine Clearance Rate test measures how effectively the kidneys are filtering creatinine, a waste product of muscle metabolism, from the blood. It is used to assess kidney function and is considered a more accurate estimate of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) than a single serum creatinine level.

The test involves measuring the creatinine concentration in both blood and urine collected over a 24-hour period. The formula for calculating the clearance rate takes into account the volume of urine produced and the concentration of creatinine in both the blood and urine.

A lower than normal creatinine clearance rate may indicate kidney dysfunction, chronic kidney disease (CKD), or renal impairment, while a higher rate may suggest excessive filtration.

What to expect & how to prepare

Creatinine Clearance Rate is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Creatinine Clearance Rate result rather than self-diagnosing.
