Fraction of filtered urea excreted in urine — distinguishes prerenal from intrinsic AKI and stays valid in patients on diuretics.
| Field | Unit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Urine urea nitrogen | mg/dL | 1–5000 |
| Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) | mg/dL | 1–300 |
| Urine creatinine | mg/dL | 1–1000 |
| Plasma creatinine | mg/dL | 0.1–30 |
