of the blood by the kidneys (glomerular filtration). There is little tubular reabsorption of creatinine. If the filtering of the kidney is deficient‚ creatinine blood levels rise. Therefore‚ creatinine levels in blood and urine may be used to calculate the creatinine clearance which reflects the glomerular filtration rate (GFR).The GFR is clinically important because it is a measurement of renal function .A more complete estimation of renal function can be made when interpreting the blood (plasma)

The smoke from the coils produced significant increase (P < 0.05) in the levels of total protein‚ total albumin‚ bilirubin and blood urea nitrogen when animals were exposed to smoke for 14 days. Similarly‚ the smoke from the coil also caused an elevation in the activities of

introduce the role of clinical chemistry in the health care field and some clinical chemistry tests in medicine. The Clinical Chemistry department is involved in the study and measurement of chemical substances in blood and other body fluids (Pitocco). With just a small amount of whole blood or serum‚ many body systems can be analyzed. The results of these measurements and observations are relevant to the causes and extent of diseases. Clinical chemistry is the application of biochemical scientific

The blood was collected from the retro-orbital plexus on 10th day from animals and they were anesthetized using sodium phenobarbitone (60 mg/kg). The serum was separated by centrifugation at 1000 rpm for 10 min and analyzed for biochemical parameters such as serum urea‚ uric acid and electrolytes. Serum urea was measured using the commercially available kit (Liquicheck AGAPPE Diagnostics LTD)‚ following
