BUN creatinine ratio measures blood urea nitrogen to creatinine levels. Creatinine is filtered and secreted, while BUN is filtered and reabsorbed. Normal BUN creatinine ratio is between 10 and 20
Creatinine is a waste product from protein breakdown and muscle breakdown. Normal creatinine levels are 0.5-1.0 mg/dL for females, 0.7-1.2 mg/dL for males. Creatinine levels can vary based on age, diet, muscle mass, and activity level
Creatinine is a waste product in blood and urine. Normal creatinine levels are 0.6-1.2 mg/dL in males, 0.5-1.1 mg/dL in females. High creatinine isn't harmful but may indicate kidney disease
Average person urinates 6-8 times daily, every 3-4 hours. Strong urge occurs when bladder holds 350-600 milliliters of urine. Holding urine can damage bladder and lead to infections
Urine pH ranges from 4.5 to 8, with higher levels indicating acidity. pH measures fluid acidity, with 7 being neutral. Urine pH is slightly more alkaline in morning and women
Normal blood uric acid levels are low, produced from purine breakdown. Hyperuricemia occurs when uric acid builds up in bloodstream. Blood test measures uric acid levels above 6.8 mg/dL. Hyperuricemia doesn't automatically indicate gout
