1. Jaffe method(Manual method)
Disadvantage: non creatinine chromagen
interfere with the reaction e.g. protein , glucose,
Ketones, Pyruvate, Bilirubin…….
2. Kinetic analyses modes(Automated method)
 PFF + Saturated picrate acid
(alkaline media) NaOH
Creatinine picrate
orange red complex
(absorbed at 510 nm)
 Serum or Plasma
Protein free filtrate: to avoid non creatinine
chromagen interfering with the reaction
 Saturated picrate acid
 Creatinine standard -1 mg%
 NaOH-5%
 Sodium tungstate solution – 10%
 H2SO4
 In a centrifuge tube take;
1. 1 ml of DW
2. 1 ml serum
3. 1 ml of sodium tungstate
4. 1 ml of H2SO4
Mix and centrifuge for 5 min. to obtain clear
supernatant PFF

 KINECTIC METHOD :- they were developed in a quest
both for specificity and for faster and automate
analysis .Rate is measured:
 Faster
 More specific
 Most widely used
Implemented on various automated instruments.
 JAFFE’S KINETIC ASSAY
 ENZYMATIC KINETIC ASSAY
 In this method also Jaffe’s reaction principle is
used but defined experimental condition, by using
special type of spectrophotometer or
autoanalyser, equipped with a thermocuvette.
Jaffe’s reaction is carried out at 30 degree
centigrade as follows:
 First reading is recorded at 20 sec. Most of the
interfering non-creatinine chromogens react with
alkaline picrate reagent fast and are recorded
after 20 seconds.
 Creatinine and alkaline picrate react relatively
slowly after 20 seconds,upto 80 seconds.Hence
second reading is noted after 80 seconds.
 Same procedure is used for a standard.
 The result are calculated as follows-
 Mg/dl, Creatinine=
O.D.T[80 sec]-O.D.T[20sec] X conc. of std.
O.D std[80sec]-O.D std[20sec]
 Dilute urine 1:100 with distilled water so that the
creatinine values come within the range of
Lambert-Beer’ s law and the interfering
substances get diluted. Urine creatinine is then
estimated by using Jaffe’s method.

Take OD at 520 nm. Calculate the result.
Increased values = (Azotemia)
1. Prerenal: systemic infection e.g. babesiosis
2. Renal: e.g. Amyloidosis, Glomerulosclerosis and
Polycystic disease
3. Post renal: e.g. Ureteral obstruction
Decreased creatinine blood level
Muscle disease
Cachexia
Portosystemic shunts
