The creatinine blood test is used to assess kidney function. It is frequently ordered along with a BUN (blood urea nitrogen) test or as part of a basic or comprehensive metabolic panel (BMP or CMP), groups of tests that are performed to evaluate the function of the body's major organs. Blood creatinine measurements, along with age, weight, and sex, are used to calculate the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) , which is used as a screening test to look for evidence of early kidney damage. 2  Blood and urine creatinine levels may be used to calculate a creatinine clearance.
A blood creatinine level or a creatinine clearance test is done to: 1  See if your kidneys are working normally. 2  See if your kidney disease is changing. 3  See how well the kidneys work in people who take medicines that can cause kidney damage.4  Check for severe dehydration.he blood creatinine level shows how well your kidneys are working.
