The kidneys and lungs balance bicarbonate levels. So if bicarbonate levels are too high or too low, it might indicate a problem with those organs. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN): This is a measure of how ...
The use of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) concentration as a measure of renal function is even less reliable, because BUN levels can be affected by the presence of gastrointestinal bleeding or by the ...
Blood tests: Blood tests such as serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) are commonly used to assess kidney function.
Each nephron is made of a tubule and is responsible for 'cleaning' the blood by removing urea and excess water and mineral ions. Blood passes through the nephron inside the kidneys, there are many ...
ub.edu Background The distribution of the microbial aetiology and mortality of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) was investigated in relation to the clinical setting and severity scores (pneumonia ...
The kidneys are organs of the urinary system - which remove excess water, mineral ions and urea. Blood is transported to the kidney through the renal artery. The blood is filtered at a high ...
On physical examination there was tenderness present in right flank on deep palpation. Blood serum chemistries revealed mildly deranged renal function tests (blood urea nitrogen 56 mg/dL; serum ...
