In addition to the excretion of wastes, the kidneys play an especially vital role in regulating the volume and composition of body fluids. The role of the kidneys in the regulation of fluid and electrolyte balance is very significant and regulates the body’s metabolic functions. Looking to the importance and the most significance role of this organ the investigations were carried out to evaluate serum creatinine level in the selected individual used as an index or a measure of renal function. Present study reports the distribution and correlates of serum Creatinine in a group of community-dwelling elderly individuals, aged 65 years and older. Study reveals that difference in the serum creatinine, plasma electrolytes levels and other hematological parameters values in the target group with respect of the healthy individuals. https://www.biotech-asia.org/vol7no1/studies-on-serum-creatinine-level-and-its-clearance-in-older-adults-as-an-index-of-renal-function/ Kidney; Serum creatinine; Renal function.
