In May, it announced an upgrade that cut that time to 20 minutes. Now Teslaâs chief technology officer, JB Straubel, says the company eventually could cut the time it takes to fully charge the battery to just five minutesâor not much longer than it takes to fill a gas tank.
Creatinine has been found to be a fairly reliable indicator of kidney function. Elevated creatinine level signifies impaired kidney function or kidney disease. As the kidneys become impaired for any reason, the creatinine level in the blood will rise due to poor clearance of creatinine by the kidneys. Abnormally high levels of creatinine thus warn of possible malfunction or failure of the kidneys.
People with chronic kidney disease may undergo numerous tests and measurements to check for kidney function levels. One of these tests is a serum creatinine blood test. Results are used to calculate another measurement: your GFR, or Glomerular Filtration Rate. Creatinine is a waste product in your blood that comes from muscle activity.
