Creatinine clearance as a measure of renal function.
Creatinine is a by-product of the metabolic breakdown of muscle and usually has a constant
value in an individual. Serum creatinine is measured through laboratory analysis of a patient’s
blood. Normal serum creatinine (Scr) is ≈ 0.9-1.2 mg/dL. This range will change slightly depending on the reference used.
Normal CrCl is
Normal CrCl is ≈ 100-140 mL/min
serum creatinine (Scr) vs. creatinine clearance
(CrCl).
There is an inverse relationship between

The higher Scr is, the lower CrCl will be.
