Product description:
Serum creatinine concentration is routinely used as a surrogate to evaluate renal function by
incorporating the serum creatinine levels into equations that estimate glomerular filtration
rate. GFR calculations are often used to identify and classify patients with kidney failure.
Bias in serum creatinine measurements has been a source of concern because of the potential to
misclassify patients with respect to renal function. When a renal disorder is suspected, the
ratio of BUN to serum creatinine may be useful in diagnosing the location of the problem. A
normal ratio is 10:1.
