Blood urea nitrogen and creatinine are "waste" products in the body and are efficiently secreted by the kidney.
What is significant of Anti-Diuretic Hormone (ADH)?
1. Secreted from the posterior pituitary gland
2. Influenced by Serum Osmolarity
3. Increased Osmolarity triggers release of ADH which decreases urine output w/ results in water retention.
Range for Plasma B.U.N.?
8-18 mg/dL
Function of Peritubular Capillary System?
1. Tubular Secretion
2. Tubular Reabsorption
Range for Plasma Creatinine?
0.6-1.2 mg/dL
Tubular secretion of creatinine?
Most sensitive index of renal function
