ACRONYM
What is it?
Organ or tissue of origin
How it is eliminated or metabo
Physiological meaning
In relation to disease
BUN   Blood Urea Nitrogen By product of protein metabolism results from the detoxification of Ammonia   All tissues which break down protein or amino acids-detoxification of ammonia occurs by means of a liver enzyme   passively filtered by the kidney. Produced in higher concentrations than Creatinine, therefore changes in levels occur sooner than creatinine - hence use of BUN/Creatinine ratio   High-excess protein degradation Inefficient filtering Hemoconcentration low - not enough protein intake(muscle mass however can substitute for source of protein) more commonly liver disease causing loss of enzyme that makes it. Too effnt filtg Dil   High:Atkins diet,Kidney disease that impacts filtration rate,Dehydration,GI bleeding,Heart failure,Shock. Liver failure,pregnancy,Any event with increased renal filtration overhydration

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
