Collection Comments

Invert tube 8-10 times to mix blood with anticoagulant. Process within 2 hours of collection. Spin for 10 minutes at 1100-1300 g in a swing bucket unit or 15 minutes in a fixed angle. Ship spun Lt Green or Gold tube. Remember to properly label tube with patient name, DOB, test and collect date.

The estimated SERUM/PLASMA creatinine clearance result USING THE COCKCROFT-GAULT EQUATION [CRCL(CG)] requires height (cm) and weight (kg) to be calculated. Please be sure these are documented in PowerChart.

Storage/Transport Temperature

Refrigerated serum/plasma

Stability (from collection to initiation)

Spun samples: Refrigerated: 7 days; Frozen: indefinitely

Ordering Recommendations

Creatinine is a nitrogen waste product formed from its precursor molecule, creatine. The serum creatinine test is commonly ordered as an indicator of renal function. Creatinine is included in both the basic and comprehensive metabolic profiles or this test may be ordered individually.
