Creatinine is a byproduct of muscle metabolism that is excreted at a constant rate by the kidneys. It is a useful indication of kidney function and can be used to calculate the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) that indicates how much fluid is filtered by a glomerulus (filtration unit of the kidney) per minute/hour etc.
