Bohr Model of the Atom (Explain what it shows and list one con for this model.) -Electrons orbit around the nucleus. -Each orbit has a fixed energy called an energy level. -To move from one energy level to another, an electron must gain or lose just the right amount of energy. -Each energy level has a different energy. -The further from the nucleus the energy level is, the more energy it has.
Because of this, creatinine tests measure the amount of creatinine in urine (for a creatinine urine test) or blood (in a serum creatinine test) and use this information to determine whether the kidneys are functioning normally.
Because the creatinine is excreted from the body at a constant rate, there are expected values for creatinine in normal human urine. Specimen validity testing is the evaluation of the specimen to determine if it is consistent with normal human urine (creatinine values greater than 20 mg/dL). When abnormally large quantities of fluids are consumed, the urine becomes diluted and the creatinine levels are substantially reduced.
