Describe in your own words what glomerular filtration rate (GFR), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine are and what they indicate in patients. Why should health care professionals analyze both BUN and creatinine to determine renal disease?
Homework Answers
Ans
Glomerular filtration rate is defined as the volume of fluid filtered from renal ( kidneys ) into the Bowman's capsule per unit time .
Blood Urea Nitrogen ( BUN ) is a medical test that detect the amount of urea nitrogen in the blood .
Creatinine is a chemical waste product in the blood that passes through the kidney to be filtered and eliminated in urine .
Blood Urea Nitrogen to creatinine ratio is measured to determine renal disease .
It can be
1) low in acute tubular necrosis
2) high in pre renal uremia
3) high with raised creatinine in post renal obstruction .
