      Creatinine is a metabolite used to measure the kidney's function. It is filtered into the nephrons in the kidney and doesn't absorb, so that most of it is removed with the urine. By measuring the creatinine's concentration in blood and urine you can get an indication about filter rate in the kidneys.
