This protocol provides instructions for drawing, processing and storing blood for the serum creatinine assay according to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) methods. Creatinine concentration in a participant's serum is measured according to the Jaffe rate method. The Diabetes Working Group notes that the Serum Creatinine assay can be done in conjunction with Cystatin C assay (see Diabetes Supplemental Information Cystatin C) to yield more information about kidney disease. In particular, comparing and contrasting the polymorphisms associated with each assay can identify "true" markers for kidney function (see Kottgen et al., 2009 for more information).
