This combined test measures serum creatinine and calculates the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), providing an assessment of kidney function. The eGFR is derived using equations that take into account creatinine levels, age, and sex to estimate how efficiently your kidneys are filtering waste.
It’s commonly used to diagnose and monitor acute or chronic kidney disease, adjust doses for medications cleared by the kidneys, and track kidney transplant patients.
