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

A sample is collected at the centre and analysed in the laboratory. The sample type — blood, urine, stool or another body fluid — depends on the specific test, and the collection staff will tell you which one applies.

• Fasting: only some laboratory tests need fasting, and this varies test by test. Ask the centre whether fasting is required for this specific test when you book, rather than assuming.
• Medication: tell the laboratory about medicines, supplements and recent injections, because some can affect results.
• Requesting slip: bring the doctor's advice or previous reports so the laboratory runs and compares the right test.
• Report timing: turnaround differs between routine and specialised tests — the centre will tell you when your report is ready.

Have a registered doctor interpret the result together with your symptoms rather than self-diagnosing from reference ranges.
