Why does creatinine remain in the bloodstream in kidney disease?


Why does creatinine remain in the bloodstream in kidney disease?I thought that with kidney disease, everything is excreted in the urine, such as proteins, blood, and other larger size molecules. If that is the case, what makes creatinine stay in the bloodstream as opposed to be excreted with the other molecules?
