Question 30

ratio of BUN to creatinine

Answer 30

The normal ratio of BUN to creatinine is between 10:1 and 20:1. A high BUN to creatinine ratio may be due to conditions that lead to decreased blood flow to the kidneys, such as congestive heart failure or dehydration. BUN to creatinine ratios can increase with both age and muscle mass.

Question 31

urea nitrogen

Answer 31

A blood urea nitrogen (BUN) test measures the amount of urea nitrogen found in your blood. Urea nitrogen is a waste product made when your liver breaks down protein. It’s carried in your blood, filtered out by your kidneys, and removed from your body in your urine.

Question 32

Creatinine

Answer 32

Creatinine is a chemical waste product of creatine. Creatine is a chemical made by the body and is used to supply energy mainly to muscles. This test is done to see how well your kidneys work. Creatinine is removed from the body entirely by the kidneys.

Question 33

basic metabolic panel (BMP)

Answer 33

What is included in a basic metabolic panel (BMP)?
A basic metabolic panel measures the following substances in your blood:

Glucose: This is a type of sugar that provides energy for your body and brain. Glucose is also known as blood sugar. Elevated blood glucose is often a sign of diabetes.
Calcium: Calcium is one of the most important and common minerals in your body. While most of your calcium is stored in your bones, you need calcium in your blood as well. Blood calcium is essential for proper functioning of your nerves, muscles and heart. It also helps with blood clotting when you’re injured.
BUN (blood urea nitrogen): This is a measurement of urea, which is a waste product that your kidneys help remove from your blood.
Creatinine: This is a byproduct of muscle activity. It’s a waste product that your kidneys filter and remove from your blood.
A BMP also measures the following four electrolytes. Electrolytes are minerals that carry an electric charge when they are dissolved in a liquid. These electrolytes in your blood control nerve and muscle function and maintain the acid-base balance (pH balance) of your blood and your water balance.

Sodium: Most of your sodium comes from the food you eat, and your kidneys help regulate your body’s sodium levels.
Potassium: Potassium comes from the food you eat and is present in all tissues of your body.
Bicarbonate: Bicarbonate indicates the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in your blood.
Chloride: Chloride functions along with sodium, potassium and bicarbonate to control many processes in your body.

Question 34

Nitrite

Answer 34

Nitrite is an intermediate product of the oxidation of ammonia to nitrate. Normally, very little nitrite is present in aquaculture systems. However, nitrite will occasionally accumulate in culture systems due to an imbalance in the nitrification process.
