HIGH BUN
H - with excessive protein intake; GI bleeding, dehydration, hypercatabolism, CHF (a ↓
in cardiac output causes a ↓ GFR), transplant rejection, inadequate dialysis
LOW BUN
hepatic failure, overhydration, acute low protein intake, malabsorption, ↑ secretion
of anabolic hormones
HIGH Creatinine
muscle damage, catabolism, MI, muscular dystrophy, AKI/CKD, use of
cephalothin/cimetidine, excess protein intake, inadequate dialysis, transplant
rejection.
LOW Creatinine
in chronic dialysis ,10 may indicate PEM/wasting of muscle
- It is when you have albumin in your urine
- Albuminuria (proteinuria)
. If your kidneys are damaged, albumin can
“leak” through their filters and into your urine.
Albuminuria
H Sodium
- H - dehydration, diabetes insipidus, often masked by water retention
L Sodium
L - overhydration, inappropriate ADH, diuretic use, burns, starvation, adrenal
insufficiency, nephritis, hyperglycemia, diabetic acidosis, hyperproteinemia
