true statement about creatinine clearance is
1.80ml/min
2.most accurate renal function test
3.represents tubular function
4.represents gfr (55)

hi mani !

the ans is "d"....gfr

Definition :

The creatinine clearance test compares the level of creatinine in urine with the creatinine level in the blood, usually based on measurements of a 24-hour urine sample and a blood sample drawn at the end of the 24-hour period. Clearance is often measured as milliliters/minute (ml/min).

Because creatinine is found in stable plasma concentrations, is freely filtered and not reabsorbed, and is minimally secreted by the kidneys, creatinine clearance is used to estimate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The GFR in turn is the standard by which kidney function is assessed.

Normal Values :

Normal values are indicated as follows (normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories):

Male: 97 to 137 ml/min.
Female: 88 to 128 ml/min.
Note: ml/min. = milliliters per minute

What abnormal results mean :

Abnormal results are lower-than-normal GFR measurements, and they may indicate:

Acute tubular necrosis
Congestive heart failure
Dehydration
Glomerulonephritis
Renal ischemia (blood deficiency)
Shock
Acute bilateral obstructive uropathy
Acute nephritic syndrome
Acute renal failure
Chronic renal failure
End-stage renal disease
Rapidly progressive (crescentic) glomerulonephritis
Wilms' tumor
