Renal failure refers to the clinical syndrome that occurs when the kidneys are no longer able to maintain their regulatory, excretory, and endocrine functions, resulting in retention of nitrogenous solutes and derangements of fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance. ...
of nitrogenous wastes, although more recent convention is to use the term acuterenal injury(AKI) to encompass the entire spectrum of renal injury, from minor alterations of serum chemistry renal parameters [i.e.,blood ureanitrogen (BUN) and creatinine] to anuric renal failure (Langston, 2010)...
Acute kidney injury, or AKI,is when the kidney isn't functioning at 100% and that decrease in function develops relatively quickly, typically over a few days. Actually, AKI used to be known asacute renal failure, or ARF, but AKI is a broader term that also includes subtle decreases in k...
BUNKidneyIt has been suggested that exposure to organic solvents may have a role in the impairment of kidney function that may progress to kidney failure. However, this has never been evaluated with an appropriate analytical study of the kidney functions of those people who are chronically exposed...
The same results were seen in BUN levels (P<0.01). However, there were no significant difference between two genders. Besides, histological protective effects of IPC was proved especially in female rats (P<0.01). Findings of our study confirmed that renal IPC reduces the damages in both ...
Ratio of BUN:creatinineProvides more useful information than either tests alone:Distinguish prerenal from renal causes of kidney failure In prerenal disease, ratio is close to 20:1 In intrinsic renal disease, ratio is closer to 10:1
Kidney function studies: Increased levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine are the hallmarks of AKI; the ratio of BUN to creatinine can exceed 20:1 in conditions that favor the enhanced reabsorption of urea, such as volume contraction (this suggests prerenal AKI) Complete blood...
2a–c). Of note, mice subjected to IRI/CL-NX and mice subjected to U-IRI had equivalent creatinine levels on days 14 and 30, with BUN values that approached equivalence, suggesting nearly complete recovery of filtration function by the previously injured IRI/CL-NX kidneys as compared to the...
