Creatinine [Mass/volume] in Urine from Fetus
Active
Term Description
Fetal urine analysis for various biochemicals can indicate abnormalities in renal function prior to birth. Testing performed in the early stages of development can help catch early warning signs of renal issues that could potentially be corrected or help make decisions for the unborn child's care. PMID: 1547172 PMID: 25412852 Urine is collected while the fetus is in utero by vesicostomy or fetal cystoscopy. Results are stored in the mother's chart and distinctive from the mother's results.
Part Description
LP14355-9 Creatinine
Creatinine or creatine anhydride, is a breakdown product of creatine phosphate in muscle. The loss of water molecule from creatine results in the formation of creatinine. It is transferred to the kidneys by blood plasma, whereupon it is eliminated by glomular filtration and partial tubular excretion. Creatinine is usually produced at a fairly constant rate and measuring its serum level is a simple test. A rise in blood creatinine levels is observed only with marked damage to functioning nephrons; therefore this test is not suitable for detecting early kidney disease. Creatine and creatinine are metabolized in the kidneys, muscle, liver and pancreas.
