A point-of-care whole blood creatinine testing systems is a device intended for measuring creatinine levels in the plasma. Point-of-care whole blood creatinine testing systems are used in the treatment and diagnosis of renal diseases, in monitoring renal diseases, and as a benchmark calculation for measuring other urine analytes. A point-of-care whole blood creatinine testing systems are classified by the FDA as a class II device.

Creatinine is a waste product which is formed when creatinine, a protein found in the muscles, breaks down. A point of care whole blood creatinine testing system may provide the doctor with information as to how efficiently the kidneys are working. Point-of-care whole blood creatinine testing systems are usually used along with several other laboratory tests including blood urea nitrogen (BUN) test, and basic metabolic panel (BMP) test.

Point-of-care whole blood creatinine testing systems are recommended to be used during routine physical exams to help diagnose certain diseases and to check for any problems within the kidney. Materials used in a point-of-care whole blood creatinine testing system are usually a creatinine reagent (Sodium hydroxide, picric acid, etc) pipe, or a strip.   

The growing prevalence and recurrence of renal diseases is expected to be the major factor driving the growth of the Point-of-Care Whole Blood Creatinine Testing Systems market over the forecast period. According to National center for chronic disease prevention and health promotion, 30 million people of 15% of the US adults were estimated to have Chronic Kidney Disease (CDK) in 2017.

Changes in lifestyle and eating habits are attributed to the growing prevalence of renal diseases. Research and product development is another factor contributing to the growth of the global Point-of-Care Whole Blood Creatinine Testing Systems market.
