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.
The Test Sample. Creatinine is a waste product produced by muscles from the breakdown of a compound called creatine. Creatinine is removed from the body by the kidneys, which filter almost all of it from the blood and release it into the urine. This test measures the amount of creatinine in the blood and/or urine.
