The article offers information on urea and creatinine level measurement. Topics discussed include clinical significance, methods of testing, and specimen requirements. It adds that creatinine is the more suitable indicator for renal function than urea, which is also called as blood urea nitrogen (BUN...
The FIA system consisting of urea and creatinine biosensors based on ammonium ion-selective electrodes and the interferent separator has been developed as on-line hemodialysis monitor enabling a real-time biparametric control as well as the quantitative description of therapy [29]. The results of ...
Bengt Lindholm, in Nutritional Management of Renal Disease (Third Edition), 2013 Creatinine Creatinine is together with urea, the most widely known “uremic toxin”, and is usually assessed whenever a reduction in kidney function is suspected. This is mainly because creatinine evaluation is cheap, ...
Blood flows into the nephrons of the kidney to undergo filtration of waste in the glomerulus. Reabsorption of vital molecules, ions, and water occurs in the proximal tubules of the glomerulus. Hydrogen ions, creatinine, drugs, and urea are then secreted through the collecting duct and out of ...
Blood tests: Comprehensive metabolic panel (including at least serum electrolytes, blood urea nitrogen [BUN], creatinine, and calcium levels), complete blood count (CBC) with differential and platelets, liver tests, and ammonia level Arterial blood gases (ABGs) Blood and urine culture and routine...
Urea Patient care is the primary focus of clinical chemistry testing and Randox has developed the RX series of clinical chemistry analysers for high quality semi-automated and fully automated testing with an extensive and dedicated testing menu with a range of high performing and unique reagents ava...
Laboratory findings revealed leukocytosis with neutrophilia and elevated serum levels of creatinine, urea, and creatine phosphokinase. The patient underwent an extensive range of tests, encompassing a complete blood count; a comprehensive biochemical profile covering parameters such as liver enzymes (ALT, ...

Serum electrolytes, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and creatinine should be obtained to evaluate hydration and acid-base status in patients who appear seriously ill. Complete blood count (CBC) is nonspecific, although eosinophilia may indicate parasitic infection. Renal function tests and CBC shou...
Of 121 patients who ingested Dettol 200–500 ml, three developed renal impairment, as evidenced by raised plasma urea and creatinine [7]. Two of these patients also had serious complications, including aspiration leading to pneumonia and adult respiratory distress syndrome; one died. Renal impairment...
