The normal range for the BUN:creatinine ratio (BCR) has not been determined for infants and children. The objectives of this study were to: (1) test the hypothesis that the BCR is higher in young children; and (2) establish normal BCR ranges for children of various ages. In this ...
Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) level is another indicator of kidney function. Urea is a metabolic byproduct that can also build up if kidney function is impaired. The BUN-to-creatinine ratio generally provides more precise information about kidney function and its possible underlying cause compared with...
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...
The normal range for the BUN:creatinine ratio (BCR) has not been determined for infants and children. The objectives of this study were to: (1) test the hypothesis that the BCR is higher in young children; and (2) establish normal BCR ranges for children of various ages. In this retrosp...
No differences in other lipid profiles, creatinine and insulin resistance were observed between the two study groups. Discussion The results of this study showed a significantly lower ADMA concentration in the obese compared to the normal weight patients on hemodialysis. This finding was associated ...
sCr: serum creatinine; BMI: body mass index; SBP: systolic blood pressure; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; DM: diabetes, mellitus; CVD: cardiovascular disease; BUN: blood urea nitrogen; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate; LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-C: high-density ...
BUN and creatinine ratios should be analyzed when renal function is evaluated. Liver Function Studies Normal Lab Values Conditions affecting the gastrointestinal tract can be easily evaluated by studying the normal laboratory values of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, bilirubin, albumin, ...
BUN Correct Answer A. Renal Clearance/Creatinine Clearance ExplanationRenal clearance/creatinine clearance is considered the #1 renal function test because it provides an accurate measure of the kidney's ability to remove waste and toxins from the blood. This test involves measuring the amount of ...
The ideal ratio of BUN to creatinine falls between 10-to-1 and 20-to-1. Having a ratio above this range could mean you may not be getting enough blood flow to your kidneys and could have conditions such as congestive heart failure, dehydration, orgastrointestinal bleeding. ...
Standard CVRS laboratory values were used as a reference for CBC and for the following blood chemistry examination parameters: albumin, ALKP, ALT, AST, CPK, GGT, amylase, lipase, BUN, creatinine, phosphorus, calcium, cholesterol, glucose, bilirubin, total proteins, and globulins. 2.3. ...
