Session information
- Title:
- [Retired] 02_14_17 Biochemistry of Blood Urea and Creatinine
- Description:
- Using existing knowledge of physiology, in this session we will consider the logical causes and effects of an abnormal plasma level of one or both of these compounds. We will then focus on their use as surrogate measures of renal function and look at how their values can be used to monitor this in the perioperative period. Finally we will give a user’s guide to the implications urea and creatinine values may have on the conduct of anaesthesia.
- Hierarchy:
- Anaesthesia (e-LA) > Core Training - Clinical > [Retired] e-LA Module 02 - Consolidating Basic Clinical Practice - UNDER REVIEW > 02 Preoperative Assessment > 14 Investigations and Interpretation > [Retired] 02_14_17 Biochemistry of Blood Urea and Creatinine
