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.
Creatinine is a waste product from the normal breakdown of muscle tissue. As creatinine is produced, it's filtered through the kidneys and excreted in urine. Doctors measure the blood creatinine level as a test of kidney function.The kidneys ' ability to handle creatinine is called the creatinine clearance rate, which helps to estimate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) -- the rate of blood flow through the kidneys.ormal Kidney Function and the GFR. All the blood in the body flows through the kidneys hundreds of times each day. The kidneys push the liquid part of blood through tiny filters (called nephrons), then reabsorb most of the fluid back into the blood.
