9 COMPARISON STUDY During February and Marchof 2016, creatinine concentration of 97 patient s serum samples and 100 patient s urine (1/50 diluted) samples were measured by five commonly used kits in Iran, including Pars Azmon, Pishtaz Teb, Audit, Man, and Bionik. Results of each kit compared with total mean results by using paired t test, linear regression, and Deming regression. Clinically acceptable limits were calculated according to one third of TEa%
