<p>creatinine is produced in MUSCLE (or by eating cooked meat!!!)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>incr intake of cooked meat!!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>note N-acetylcystein can produce false reading.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>More specific creatinine assays not subject to such interference are being investigated. One such assay, the <strong>VITROS CREA,</strong> employs an oxidation reaction to measure endogenous creatinine levels and will soon be available at laboratories within <strong>Kaiser </strong><strong>Permanente.</strong> The VITROS CREA assay will quantify creatinine with greater precision.</p>
