COMPARING AGE-WISE REFERENCE INTERVALS FOR SERUM CREATININE CONCENTRATION IN A “REALITY CHECK” OF THE RECOMMENDED CUT-OFF
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical Biochemistry - Year 2006, Vol 21, Issue 2
Abstract
An increase in the communication within the healthcare services, both nationally and internationally, has strengthened the need for harmonization of measurements and reference intervals in laboratory medicine. In the present report, the calculated reference interval for serum creatinine (sCr) levels of healthy normal individuals (n=1121) in different sex and age groups are compared with the established interval. The calculated reference interval for sCr level was 0.4-1.3 mg/dL and 0.6 to 1.3 mg/dL in the age groups of 21-40 and 41-60 years respectively. The difference between the mean sCr values in total males and total females (age range 21-60 years) was statistically significant (p
