Skeletаl muscles utilize creаtine phоsphаte as a metabоlic mechanism tо quickly recharge/regenerate ADP to ATP by first removing the phosphate (P) from creatine phosphate using a chemical process called . This phosphate is then transferred to the ADP molecule, thus "recharging" it to ATP form through a process called . Like any battery, there is a limited number of times that creatine phosphate can be used before it wears out. When this creatine "wears out", the muscle cell converts this worn out creatine into a metabolic waste product called creatinine. This waste product (creatinine) is then exported from the muscle cell into the blood plasma. The blood therefore always contains creatinine (because it is always being generated); for the sake of simplicity, say blood contains 10 molecules of creatinine per liter. The kidneys are the organs that are responsible for ridding the body of the waste creatinine to maintain homeostasis (too much waste in the blood can be toxic). This is often measured as "creatinine clearance rate" or "glomerularo filtration rate" because creatinine is a relatively easy object to measure in urine. As blood is filtered by the kidney in the , this creatinine will be taken from the blood into the nephron and urine. Since this is a metabolic waste product, the cells that actively re-absorb ingredients from the urine back into the blood plasma will not re-absorb this creatinine; this is how creatinine stays in the urine. The blood that entered the kidneys would have come via the renal , and exits the kidney towards the heart via the renal . During a routine urine analysis, one of the things they check is the glomerular filtration rate by measuring the amount of creatinine in the urine. They then calculate how many hours this urine sample was taken (say 8 hours to fill the bucket). Since the amount of blood plasma creatinine stays relatively constant, the kidney filtration rate reflects how well the kidney is functioning. If the kidneys are "clogged" (often due to scarring or damage to the kidney, or potentially a kidney stone), one would expect urine creatinine levels to be . A reduced kidney filtration rate is concerning for homeostasis because it indicates the kidneys are not functioning as required. Once concern that doctors are taught when interpreting urine creatinine levels is to not simply focus on the kidneys. A lower amount of creatinine in the urine might indicate kidney malfunction, but it might also indicate a problem with the skeleton. A weakened skeleton, with insufficient minerals and proteins can be dangerous because weakened bone could break/fracture from "over-strong" muscles. The weakened skeleton could be due to under-active bone-building cells, called , or overactive bone-dissolving cells, called . In either case, there is less calcium in the bone, leading to weakened bone.
