creatinine concentration shows a relationship with GFR‚ making it specific‚ but not a sensitive measure of GFR. The creatinine pool is influenced by nutritional state‚ hepatic disease gender‚ ethnicity‚ protein intake‚ and age (Slack et al.‚ 2010). In liver cirrhosis‚ the decrease in serum creatinine is due to a 50% reduction in hepatic production of creatine; increases in volume of distribution due to accumulation of extracellular fluid‚ ascites‚ edema‚ loss of muscle mass and malnutrition‚ which is

in the small intestine into amino acids. The villi on the walls of the small intestine absorb the amino acids into the hepatic portal vein. Hepatic portal vein is a special vein that transports digested material from the small intestine to the liver. The liver plays a big role in maintaining the level of protein in our body. It absorbs all amino acids from the hepatic portal vein. If the body needs proteins‚ they will pass through the liver into the blood stream to be used by the body cells to
