show carried in blood to the kidney and filtered in the glomerulus  
🗑
show 60% is excreted and about 40% is reabsorbed  
🗑
show indicator of renal function/ how well kidneys work  
🗑
Uremia   show
🗑
Azotemia   show
🗑
show caused by reduced renal blood flow  
🗑
show decreased renal function  
🗑
Post-renal   show
🗑
What do high levels of BUN mean?   show
🗑
Renal disease   show
🗑
Normal urea/creatinine ratio   show
🗑
show high ration/creatinine is normal  
🗑

🗑
Severe liver disease   show
🗑

🗑
To convert urea nitrogen to urea   show
🗑

🗑
GLDH   show
🗑
Nessler's reaction   show
🗑
Ion selective electrodes   show
🗑
Chromogen dyes   show
🗑
show Serum. DO NOT USE: sodium citrate or sodium fluoride - inhibit urease reaction of analysis. fasting is not required  
🗑
BUN normal ranges   show
🗑
show It is synthesized in the liver and transported to tissue (mostly muscle) and converted to phosphocreatine  
🗑
Creatinine   show
🗑
show creatine and creatine phosphate  
🗑
show glomeruli and does not undergo and significant tubular reabsorption.  
🗑
How is creatinine excreted   show
🗑
show abnormal renal function / decreased glomerulus filtration rate. GFR= V/T  
🗑
show The volume of plasma cleared of creatinine per minute per standard body surface/ assessment of GFR. More muscle mass the more creatinine you make  
🗑
show muscle disease, muscular dystrophy, hyperthyroidism, trauma. NOT RELATED TO RENAL DISEASE. Not commonly tested in lab  
🗑
Jaffee reaction   show
🗑
