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...
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 ...
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 ...
Initially, a urine dipstick test was performed for proteinuria and hematuria for the early detection of CKD, and if the results for proteinuria or hematuria were positive, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (sCr) concentrations were investigated [8,9]. In KNHSP, the presence of ...
N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is a versatile drug used in various conditions, but the limitations and toxicities are not clear. The acute toxicity and toxicological mechanisms of an intraperitoneal injection of NAC in normal mice were deciphered. The LD50 for
Results Thehighest level of serum creatinine and BUN in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group,but the level of eGFRand RRF was significantly higher than that in the control group(P < 0.05). The residualrenal function and KT/V value of dialysis in the study...
A 60-year-old woman with a history of hypertension, diabetes and renal disease presented to the hospital complaining of diffuse weakness for 24 hours. On examination, vital signs showed a normal temperature, pulse 100 beats/min, respiratory rate 25 breat
The liquid portion of the tested Blood is plasma. When our Blood clots outside the body, the Blood cells and some of the proteins in Blood turn into a solid. The remaining liquid is called serum, which can be used in chemical tests and in other Blood tests to find out how the immune...
