Non Protein Nitrogen Flashcards
originated in the early days of clinical
chemistry when analytic methodology required removal of protein from a
specimen before analysis.
Nonprotein nitrogen
Major excretory product of protein
metabolism
Urea
waste product product protein
Urea
principal of waste product muscle
Creatinine
enzymatic phosphate
Creatine
Importance detects renal function
Urea
It is also the first metabolite
to increase in kidney disease,
Blood urea nitrogen ( BUN)
It is used as a screening test for kidney
disease.
BLOOD UREA NITROGEN ( BUN)
is readily removed by dialysis.
Urea
Major organic solid in the urine
Blood urea nitrogen ( BUN)
CLINICAL APPLICATION BUN
evaluate renal function,
to assess hydration status,
to determine nitrogen balance,
to aid in the diagnosis of renal disease, and
to verify adequacy of dialysis
