Answer:

creatinine

Step-by-step explanation:

The creatinine it's a protein compound that is the result of the metabolism of the muscles, this protein is produced constantly, depending of the muscle mass of each individual, which should be excreted in urine, therefore an elevated creatinine in blood sugests kidney injury, because it means creatinine is not being filtrated correctly by the kidneys
