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...
If you have a kidney condition, the test is a way to check what your BUN levels are before you start a medication or treatment. It’s also standard to perform a BUN test when you’re in the hospital for certain conditions. If you're at higher risk for kidney disease because you have...
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...
The Kt/V was calculated as “-ln{[(post BUN/pre BUN)- (0.008×t)]+[4-(3.5×post BUN/pre BUN)] × 0.55×UF/V}” [17]. Statistical analysis The mean, standard deviation (SD), frequencies, and percentages were used to present the results of this research. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov ...

Screening Blood testsare used to try to detect a disease when there is little or no evidence that a person has a suspected disease. For example, measuring cholesterol levels helps to identify one of the risks of heart disease. These screening tests are performed on people who may show no sy...

Proper wound healing is essential not only for the restoration of disrupted anatomical continuity and the barrier function of the skin, but also for reducing the risk of infection and further complications [5]. The use of natural products from plants for treatment of wounds has been practiced ...
In laboratory tests, both female and male subjects showed higher baseline BUN, total cholesterol, and LDL-C levels, and lower eGFR levels in the higher quartiles. The prevalence of proteinuria was higher in the higher quartiles in females, whereas it was not different across the quartiles in...
