3017250 - CREATININE [MASS/VOLUME] IN URINE

Creatinine is a waste product from the normal breakdown of muscle tissue. As your body makes it, it's filtered through your kidneys and expelled in urine.[2] The creatinine urine test measures the amount of creatinine in urine. This test is done to see how well your kidneys are working.[1]

The normal range is around 20 – 275 mg/dL in women and 20 – 320 mg/dL in men but this measurement may vary based on body weight and lean muscle mass.[3]

Normal ranges may also vary by lab.

In the OMOP vocabulary 3017250 is a Standard Concept that represents the measurement CREATININE [MASS/VOLUME] IN URINE

The recommended low and high values for each unit associated with 3017250 are below. These are not meant to be normal values. Rather, these are meant to be biologically plausible values. For example, it would be implausible to see a patient with a weight of 0 kg though a person could be 2.5 kg.

8840

In the OMOP vocabulary 8840 is a Standard Concept that represents the unit MILLIGRAM PER DECILITER

Plausible Low Value

0.001

Plausible High Value

400

Rationale

The range 0.001 - 400 was chosen based on values seen in real world data. There are a number of outliers seen in this measurement likely due to source data entry mis-types and/or meaurement mis-labeling. In the data reviewed more than 98% of data with this standard unit concept should be accounted for.
