The 24 hour urine creatinine test is a diagnostic test that measures the amount of creatinine in the urine over a 24 hour period. Creatinine is a waste product produced by the muscles and is excreted by the kidneys. The test helps in the assessment of kidney function and is usually done along with a blood test to evaluate the creatinine level in the blood.

The 24 hour urine creatinine test is commonly used to assess the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) which is an indicator of how well the kidneys are functioning. The GFR is calculated using the amount of creatinine in the blood and the urine over a certain period of time. The test is also used to monitor patients with chronic kidney disease and to adjust the dosage of medications that are excreted by the kidneys.

The test requires a 24 hour urine collection which is usually started in the morning after discarding the first urine. The patient needs to collect all the urine produced during the day and night and store it in a container provided by the lab. The container needs to be kept in a cool and dark place to prevent bacterial growth. The patient needs to return the container to the lab the next day for analysis.
