Urea Nitrogen to Creatinine Ratio Related Information: Creatinine, Serum or Plasma Osmolality, Serum Urea Nitrogen, Serum or Plasma Synonyms: BUN to Creatinine Ratio Test includes: Serum creatinine and serum urea nitrogen. Background: Useful to distinguish between preand postrenal diseases, gastrointestinal bleeding, and renal diseases. High BUN/creatinine ratio: Decreased renal perfusion, hypovolemia, hypotension, catabolic state (creatinine normal), upper gastrointestinal bleeding with very high ratios above 36, high protein diet, urinary tract obstruction. Steroids and tetracyclines may increase the ratio. Decreased ratio: Low protein intake, malnutrition, ketosis, liver diseases, rhabdomyolysis, low levels of antidiuretic hormone, late pregnancy. Drugs increasing creatinine, but not urea nitrogen: cimetidine, trimethoprim, anti-anabolic effects of tetracyclines. Sampling: 2 mL serum Reference Interval: 10–20, infants higher (10-30)

متن کاملبررسی ارتباط سطح اسید اوریک سرم با پیامد بیماران با تشدید حاد بیماری انسدادی مزمن ریوی
Background & Aims: Tissue hypoxia induces the degradation of adenosine triphosphate, resulting in the production of uric acid (UA). Elevation of serum uric acid levels has been observed in hypoxic subjects, including patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have been reported to have high serum levels of uric acid compared w...
