Creatinine/Cortisol

I thought my Dr. was doing a test to see what my Cortisol levels were....suspecting Cushings and I just saw the results online and it checked my Creatinine levels.  I am confused is there a difference between Creatinine and Cortisol or are they the same?

usually when we do urine cortisol, the urine creatinine is also tested - the cortisol may be pending still.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply.  It was very helpful!  I am just starting to wonder why it is taking so long.  It has been almost 2 weeks since I returned the urine for testing and the Creatinine results have been back a week already.  Thanks again!
