Give a reason why measurement of blood creatinine levels should be interpreted with caution when assessing the glomerular filteration rate?

The test is done to see how well your kidneys work. Creatinine is removed from the body entirely by the kidneys. If kidney function is abnormal, creatinine levels will increase in the blood (because less creatinine is released through your urine).
If your GFR decreases, the serum creatinine rises, the extent of rise is proportional to the decrease in renal function.
