It test

Identify renal disease

monitoring the response

determining the progression of renal disease

glomerular filtration rate (GFR)

Test

Blood

Serum creatinine

GFR

disease progresses, the creatinine in the blood rises

level of greater than 1.2 for women

Level of greater than 1,4 for man

kidneys are not working

The normal value for GFR is 90 or above

calculated from serum creatine

Blood Urea Nitrigonen (BUN)

Urea nitrogen comes from the breakdown of protein

A normal BUN level is between 7 and 20

Rises

Decreases
