Creatinine is the best choice because it is a waste product from muscle metabolism that is filtered by the glomerulus and there is minimal reabsorption, so it is regularly excreted in the urine. Albumin, glucose, and sodium are all substances that are normally reabsorbed by the kidneys, so their presence in the urine can indicate a problem with kidney function.
