Creatinine is completely filtered from the blood (not as well of a marker for kidney function as inulin because some is secreted‚ but still a good marker of kidney function) and excreted in urine so for her to have more than 0.6-1.2mg/dL in her blood is not normal. Her blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels are also very high. They should only be around 7-18 mg/dL. Her serum calcium

Antidiuretic hormone is released by the pituitary gland in the brain to signal the kidneys to retain water. When ADH causes water reabsorption from the kidney tubules‚ the salts and wastes are concentrated in what will eventually be urine. High level of ADH secretion and water retention happen when dehydration causes increase of osmolarity. ADH then travels in the bloodstream to the kidneys where it transforms the kidneys to be more permeable to water by inserting water channels called aquaporins.

Serum creatinine is an important marker of renal health as it is an easily measured byproduct of muscle metabolism that is excreted unchanged by the kidneys. Creatinine itself is produced by a biological system include creatine‚ phosphocreatine or creatine phosphate‚ and adenosine triphosphate “ATP”. Creatine is formed mainly in the liver from the methylation of glycocyamine by S-adenosyl methionine. It is then carried through blood to the other organs‚ muscle‚ and brain‚ where‚ through phosphorylation
