Talk:Azotemia

Confirm low urine Na+
Could someone confirm:

"2.low urine sodium < 10 ( because kidney saves sodium and water,hence low urine sodium and increase urine osmolarity)" 

I thought that in a case like CAH due to 21 alphaOHase deficiency there was a salt wasting dehydration that led to prerenal azotemia. Would this result not result in excess natriuresis?

Renal failure
Outside of the US I am not sure this would be recognised. I am a UK doctor and it is certainly not a term we use where renal failure will suffice. Should this article be merged onto renal failure to be more international in scope ad prevent unnecessary repition?Arfgab (talk) 21:38, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Renal failure
We should probably replace most instances of the acronym BUN with 'urea'. It isn't really the nitrogen that is being reabsorbed, it is the actual urea. BUN is a term best used in the context of the clinical assay, and not in the context of actual biological processes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaredroach (talk • contribs) 20:14, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
