Interpretation of urine results used to assess chemical exposure with emphasis on creatinine adjustments: a review / Mark Frederick Boeninger, Larry K. Lowry, Jon Rosenberg

Sumario: This paper reviews the process of elimination of creatinine (CRE), and the limitations presented when using it to express urine concentrations. This literature review leads to three conclusions: (1) CRE excretion is subject to wide fluctuations due to specific internal and external factors; (2) the use of CRE to correct chemical concentrations in urine will not necessarily improve the correlation to the exposure dose for all chemicals; and (3) other means of expressing urine concentration may offer greater accuracy towards estimating individually adsorbed dose
