Understanding the test
What does the Creatinine Clearance Test measure?
Also called Kidney Clearance Test
This test may be selected when a clinician needs a timed estimate of kidney clearance in addition to a serum-based estimate.
When it may be requested
A timed view of filtration
The urine and blood results can provide another estimate when serum creatinine alone leaves uncertainty.
Reviewing an existing renal assessment
A clinician may compare the result with earlier renal findings, particularly when a correctly timed collection is available.
Before your sample
Prepare for collection
Specimen24-Hour Urine + Blood
Your checklist
Obtain the supplied 24-hour container and its storage instructions. Discard the first urine and note the time, then collect every void through the same time the next day. Arrange the accompanying blood draw as instructed and report any missed portion.
This order pairs a blood sample with a full 24-hour urine collection. Follow the laboratory’s start and finish instructions and arrange the blood draw within the collection plan.

Reading your result
A missed urine sample or a mistimed blood draw can distort the calculation. Keep an accurate record of the day of collection.
What can affect it
- Missing part of the timed urine collection can materially distort the calculated clearance.

Patient questions
Before you book
Why are both urine and blood needed?
The calculation compares what leaves in urine over a recorded time with the level in the blood. A missed urine portion or incorrect timing can distort the estimate.
What does a low creatinine clearance mean?
A low creatinine clearance points towards reduced kidney filtration, from chronic kidney disease, acute injury caused by dehydration or severe infection, obstruction to urine flow, heart failure or some medicines. Before reaching that conclusion, your doctor checks that the collection was complete, because a missed passing of urine falsely lowers the result and is the commonest reason it misleads.
What does a high creatinine clearance mean?
A higher than expected creatinine clearance is often not a problem. Filtration normally increases in pregnancy, and a high protein intake or greater than average muscle mass can lift the figure. It can also appear in the early phase of diabetes, when the filtering units work harder than usual, or if urine was collected beyond the timed window.
