Interpretation

Decreased creatinine clearance indicates decreased glomerular filtration rate. This can be due to conditions, such as progressive kidney disease, or result from adverse effect on renal hemodynamics that are often reversible, including certain drugs or from decreases in effective renal perfusion (eg, volume depletion or heart failure).

 

Increased creatinine clearance is often referred to as "hyperfiltration" and is most frequently seen during pregnancy or in patients with diabetes mellitus before diabetic nephropathy has occurred. It may also occur with large dietary protein intake.
