    摘要: Creatinine levels may be monitored as a measure of kidney function. Conventionally, blood and/or urine tests are used for this purpose. Analyte sensors capable of monitoring creatinine in vivo may comprise: a sensor tail comprising at least a first working electrode, a creatinine-responsive active area disposed upon a surface of the first working electrode, a first membrane that is permeable to creatinine and overcoats the creatinine-responsive active area, and an oxygen scavenger located upon the sensor tail in proximity to the creatinine-responsive active area. The creatinine-responsive active area comprises a first electron transfer agent, a first polymer, and an enzyme system comprising multiple enzymes, particularly creatinine amidohydrolase, creatine amidohydrolase, and sarcosine oxidase, that are capable of acting in concert to facilitate detection of creatinine. An oxidase enzyme may serve as the oxygen scavenger, particularly glucose oxidase when detecting creatinine in fluids also containing glucose.
