Serum Creatinine in Chronic Kidney Disease

Elevated. Studies summarised in the OSMF atlas report higher Serum Creatinine in Chronic Kidney Disease than in the reference group of the cited comparison (CKD/reduced renal function vs healthy). Source: Benoit et al. 2020.

The atlas record does not list a standardised clinical test code (LOINC) for Serum Creatinine, which usually means it was measured with research assays or study-specific protocols rather than a routine clinical panel. Check the cited source for the exact method.

No. No single biomarker is diagnostic of Chronic Kidney Disease. Serum Creatinine findings come from group comparisons, overlap considerably between patients and controls, and vary with study design, timing and comparison group. A result should be interpreted by a clinician alongside symptoms, history and other tests.
