STAT Creatinine

Fast and reliable results wherever you need them

Superior sensor technology

Radiometer's superior sensor technology protects creatinine measurements against 62 interfering substances, providing you with an accuracy of results that you can rely on when making important clinical decisions.

A recent study compared the ABL800 FLEX blood gas analyzer's creatinine with that of I-STAT and Nova StatSensor and concluded: “The ABL800 FLEX analyzer demonstrated the best correlation to plasma creatinine and the best clinical concordance when creatinine values were used to calculate eGFR.” [1]

Precise GFR reporting

Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) has a great importance in the early detection and management of chronic kidney disease. An accurate creatinine result is a prerequisite for precise and comparable GFR measurements, which is exactly what you get with the ABL800 FLEX analyzer.

Measurements follow renowned NKDEP recommendations

The enzymatic method used for measuring creatinine on the ABL800 FLEX analyzer follows the standards recommended by the National Kidney Disease Education Program (NKDEP) laboratory. This method is IDMS traceable and has less interference than the Jaffe method. The purpose of NKDEP is to reduce the morbidity and mortality caused by kidney disease and its complications. It has defined boundaries for combinations of systematic bias and imprecision in serum creatinine measurements.
