If your BUN creatinine ratio is high, it means, your urea levels are much higher than they should be in comparison with creatinine. Blood nitrogen urea is a waste product fromdigestionof protein by the liver, and creatinine is a waste product from creatine, a protein that muscles use for e...
Creatinine levels are checked to assess kidney function.They are usually checked with another kidney function marker called BUN, or blood urea nitrogen. These tests used together give an indication of overall kidney function, but the best way to know if your kidneys are working properly is to me...

Identifying reversible renal dysfunction (RD) in the setting of heart failure is challenging. The goal of this study was to evaluate whether elevated admission blood urea nitrogen/creatinine ratio (BUN/Cr) could identify decompensated heart failure patie
Blood tests may be done to assess risk factors for heart disease and stroke as well as looking for complications of hypertension. These include complete blood count (CBC), electrolytes, BUN (blood urea nitrogen), and creatinine and GFR (glomerular filtration rate) to measure kidney function. A...

Baseline demographic and social details, clinical history, medication, New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification, weight, and physical signs were recorded, and a blood sample was taken for the measurement of hemoglobin, electrolytes, urea, creatinine, and N-terminal pro-brain natriure...
Even a moderate impairment in the glomerular filtration rate and creatinine clearance may result in hyperhomocysteinemia, especially for the elderly people. The genetic factors also influence the concentration of plasma Hcy. The methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T variant, the most common...
Learn about the general composition of urine. Understand what urine is made of and the percentage of components of urine like urea, water, creatinine and pigments. Related to this QuestionWhy does the volume of urine vary so much, in a normal human? What affects the volume and concentration ...
