Comparability and Stability of Serum Creatinine Concentration in Capillary and Venous Blood

Conclusion: It is believed that this is the first published study to determine if self-collected capillary blood sampling is an acceptable alternative to venous sampling for the measurement of serum creatinine concentration; our data indicates that there is no significant difference in results from unspun venous and capillary blood stored at room temperature for at least 3 days compared to venous blood tested on the same day of collection.PMID:37753533 | PMC:PMC10519179 | DOI:10.3389/bjbs.2023.11402
