However, traditional venous sampling poses challenges in terms of sample collection, storage, and transportation. Recently, dried blood spot (DBS) analysis has emerged as a potential alternative for measuring creatinine levels, although its clinical application remains limited. Creatinine measurements from DBS could facilitate chronic kidney disease screening, medication management, and at-home patient monitoring.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"j_cclm-2025-0979_abs_002\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Precision and hematocrit effect were assessed according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute protocols to validate creatinine measurements in DBS. Subsequently, the protocol was applied in a method comparison involving 115 patients. Lastly, robustness was assessed by investigating creatinine stability over time and the influence of spotting effects.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"j_cclm-2025-0979_abs_003\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Creatinine measurements in DBS resulted in low bias and correcting for hematocrit further improved accuracy. A comparison of creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) between venous plasma and finger stick DBS showed an R\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      of 0.97 and 0.86, respectively.

Creatinine remained stable in DBS for up to a month at\u00a0\u221220\u202f\u00b0C and 4\u202f\u00b0C, up to six days at 20\u202f\u00b0C, and one day at 37\u202f\u00b0C.
