Creatinine Clearance test is used to assess:
Correct Answer: Glomerular Filtration
Description: Answer is A (Glomerular Filtaration): Creatinine Clearance is used to assess Glomerular function or the Glomerular Filtration Rate. Creatinine in serum is the end product of endogenous muscle breakdown. Creatinine is comptetely filtered by the glomerulus and neither significantly absorbed nor significantly secreted into the tubules and hence for clinical purpose creatinine clearance is the most commonly used test to assess Glomerular function.
