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.
Creatine is broken down into creatinine. Your kidneys take creatinine out of your blood and pass it out of your body in urine. If your kidneys are damaged and can't work as they should, the amount of creatinine in your urine goes down while its level in your blood goes up. Three types of tests can be done. creatinine clearance test measures how well creatinine is removed from your blood by your kidneys. This test gives better information than a blood creatinine test on how well your kidneys are working. The test is done on both a blood sample and on a sample of urine collected over 24 hours.
