What does creatine clearance refer to?
The clearance usually refers to a test which measures your creatine levels. It calculates the amount of creatinine that is removed through your kidneys. This is called a creatinie clearance test. There is also just a basic blood creatine test which measures the amount of creatinine in your blood stream. The clearance test is more accurate because it also measures the amount of creatinine released through your urine. These tests can indicate how well your kidneys are working.
