Limiting the testing of urea: Urea along with every plasma creatinine test?
Gao-Ming ZhangXu-Xiao GuoGuo-Ming ZhangPublished in: Journal of clinical laboratory analysis (2017)
We suggest that the initiating urea testing should be based on the upper limit of Reference Intervals serum CREA of females or a 120 mL/min/1.73 m2 eGFR limit. Conservatively, the urea testing would be reduced by 65% at least.
