Clinical Significance
Creatinine is an endogenous substance most commonly used to measure the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of the
kidneys. The linear decrease of creatinine clearance over time, as renal function fails, has been thoroughly documented
for several forms of chronic glomerulonephritis (including chronic membranous glomerular nephritis, diabetic
nephropathy, chronic interstitial nephritis, and at least some cases of chronic pyelonephritis).
