normal BUN and creatinine levels will result in a normal BUN/creatinine ratio, and changes in only one or the other value will result in an abnormal BUN creatinine ratio. However, elevated BUN and creatinine values will result in a normal ratio if they increase in the same proportion, so al...
What causes high red blood cell count and high hemoglobin? If the level of sodium is high in our body, how it will affect heart rate and cardiac output and why? What does large blood platelets mean? What might an abnormal increase in venous pressure indicate?
People with only one kidney may have a normal creatinine level of about 1.8 or 1.9. Creatinine levels of 2.0 or more in infants and 5.0 or more in adults may indicate severe kidney damage. People who are dehydrated may have elevated creatinine levels. Low creatinine levelsare often seen in ...

My Creatinine level is borderline high, usually over .99 mg/dL. I accidentally overdosed on lithium four years ago, which they say didn't destroy my kidneys, but I don't believe them. My ANA was negative, but I had to cuss out my doctor to get tested for it. Keep fighting everyone...
What does a high creatinine level mean? How would blood doping affect hematocrit values? What might a low hematocrit value indicate? What is hematocrit? What is the normal range for a person's white blood cell count? What are some causes of an increase or decrease of the white bloo...
V2R antagonism is known to induce an increase in vasopressin/copeptin secretion. Indeed, the median copeptin concentration was tripled 3 weeks after the initiation of tolvaptan treatment and declined below the pretreatment level after the cessation of this treatment at the end of follow-up.5 Intere...
Puffiness around your eyes, especially first thing in the morning If you have foamy pee, your doctor will likely refer you to a nephrologist who will do a series of blood tests to check your blood and kidney health. Such tests may include blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, and protein-...
An alternative approach may be to consider atherogenic dyslipidaemia as a continuous variable using the ratio log(triglycerides)/HDL cholesterol or log(triglycerides/HDL cholesterol), based on fasting measures. In recent studies this ratio was associated with a stepwise increase in residual coronary risk...
