High BUN levels often indicate kidney disease. Creatinine is filtered by the kidneys and excreted from the body via the urine. In people with healthy kidneys, blood creatinine levels remain constant from day to day. Creatinine levels may become high when kidney function is compromised. Normal ...
Diabetesis a disease that occurs when blood sugar levels are too high. Excessive glucose molecules in the bloodstream can bind to hemoglobin and form what's called glycated hemoglobin, or HbA1c. Ahemoglobin A1c testmeasures the percentage of HbA1c present relative to the total amount of hemoglobi...
Relevant to diabetes, the BMP measures the blood glucose levels at the time of the test. Calcium, a mineral essential for proper functioning of your nerves, muscles and heart. Creatinine, a byproduct of muscle activity. Blood urea nitrogen, or BUN, the amount of the waste product urea your...
While those who lived to 100 generally had pretty similar bloodwork, among other biomarkers, the research was clear: those who lived the longest were more likely to have lower levels of glucose, creatinine and uric acid than other people. But what does this mean for your own aging odds?

However, her urea nitrogen and creatinine levels steadily increased to 18 mmol/L (normal, 8-23 mg/dL) and 280 [micro]mol/L, (normal, 53-106 [micro]mol/L), respectively. After consulting our nephrologists, we sent the patient for dialysis on postoper...
