title: Evaluation of a rapid specific ward based assay for creatinine in blood.
abstract: We have evaluated a dry reagent stick test for the quantitation of creatinine in plasma employing a whole blood sample. The assay was found to be specific for creatinine and correlated well (r = 0.993) with an established laboratory procedure. The precision found indicated that the method was suitable for use in the diagnosis and monitoring of renal disease.
