Creatinine is a waste product your body makes when it uses your muscles for energy. Your kidneys help filter this waste. A blood or urine creatinine test measures how well your kidneys work by measuring their glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Abnormal creatinine test results can sometimes (but ...
Abnormal results may indicate that the blood is low in oxygen, that the patient is breathing too much or too little (on a ventilator during the surgical procedure), or that they need additional oxygen. The ABG is typically performed at least once a day when the patient is on a ventilator ...
urine, and other diagnostic tests. If you're getting yourglomerular filtration rate (GFR)checked, you may need to fast for several hours before the test.7If you're getting a waste product calledcreatininetested (as part of a comprehensive or ...

Fetalblood samplingprobably poses greater risks than urine sampling, but it allows measurement of a better index of fetalglomerular filtration rate(GFR).77In the fetus, creatinine cannot be used as a marker ofGFRbecause it crosses theplacentaand is cleared by the mother. This is not the case ...
This work, involving a large number of subjects, 25% of whom had blood lead concentrations greater than 5 μmol/L, emphasizes the importance of the blood lead in occupational exposure and that other tests should only be considered where it is impracticable to achieve reliable blood lead results...
BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen), creatinine and uric acid are waste products in your blood and urine. Because your kidneys excrete these wastes into your urine, levels in the blood are used to monitor kidney function. Many drugs, including some HIV meds, can affect BUN and creatinine levels and ...
(P value < 0.05.) Conclusion: The diuretic Furosemide can increase thelevel of creatinine. Aim of the work: Determine the effect of diuretics (furosemide) on serum creatinine.Elmahdy, Marwa F.Allehyani, Noor M.Shehata, Nabawia M.Alanazi, Maryam O.Medico-Legal Update...
Blood chemistry results were compared with specific necropsy findings of different organs. The parameters aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatinine kinase (CK), glutamate dehydrogenase (GLDH), glucose, total protein, uric acid, urea and ...
Most exposed healthcare workers would have been immunised for Hepatitis B, and this has to be taken into consideration when interpreting their results. In females, a quick pregnancy test should be performed. If HIV PEP is initiated, a baseline full blood count, liver enzymes and creatinine ...
