CAS 60-27-5: Creatinine

Description: Creatinine is a nitrogenous organic compound with the chemical formula C4H7N3O, primarily produced from muscle metabolism. It is a byproduct of creatine phosphate, which plays a crucial role in energy production in muscle cells. Creatinine is typically found in blood and urine, and its levels are commonly used as an indicator of kidney function. The substance is a white, crystalline powder that is soluble in water and has a slightly alkaline pH. Its molecular weight is approximately 113.12 g/mol. Creatinine is stable under normal conditions but can undergo degradation under extreme pH or temperature. In clinical settings, measuring creatinine levels helps assess renal health, as elevated levels may indicate impaired kidney function or other medical conditions. Additionally, creatinine clearance tests are often performed to evaluate glomerular filtration rate (GFR), providing insight into kidney performance. Overall, creatinine serves as an important biomarker in both clinical and physiological studies.
