Blood Urea Nitrogen - Research News and Information
Thursday, January 08, 2009
Definition of 'Blood Urea Nitrogen'The urea concentration of the blood stated in terms of nitrogen content. Serum (plasma) urea nitrogen is approximately 12% higher than blood urea nitrogen concentration because of the greater protein content of red blood cells. Increases in blood or serum urea nitrogen are referred to as azotemia and may have prerenal, renal, or postrenal causes.

Wood frogs (Rana sylvatica) can accumulate substantial amounts of urea during fall and winter. In this study, maximal urea production capacity was examined in R. sylvatica collected at various times of the year and in response to experimental ... Read more...
29 Sep 2008 Retinol binding protein 4 (RBP-4), a newly discovered adipocytokine, has been involved in glucose and lipid metabolism. We assess the impacts of renal function on plasma RBP-4 levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with a wide range of ... Read more...
