If urea nitrogen creatinine is elevated, it means that the patient has renal function damage, its pathogenesis is the damage of renal function, glomerulosclerosis, partial or complete loss of kidney excretion of toxins, and the accumulation of urea nitrogen creatinine in the body, so it is elevated. Urea nitrogen creatinine is a general term for metabolic waste in the body, and elevated levels can affect the function of various organs, which can be damaged over time.
