Preferred Label : D3-Creatine Dilution;
NCIt synonyms : D3-Cr Dilution; D3Cr Dilution; Deuterated Creatine Dilution;
NCIt definition : A procedure that measures the excretion of creatinine (Crn) and D3-creatinine (D3Crn)
in the urine to determine the total body creatine pool and thus total body skeletal
muscle mass. The individual being tested ingests deuterium-labeled creatine and several
days later provides a fasting, morning urine sample. D-3 creatinine, unlabeled creatinine,
and creatine are then measured using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)
and tandem mass spectroscopy (MS/MS).;
