High-Yield Exam Tips β
- Always write the clearance formula β UΓV/P β it's asked in every university exam
- Jaffe's reaction is the standard creatinine test β write the reaction
- For calculi: 80β85% are calcium stones β most common fact asked
- Creatinine > BUN in specificity for renal function
- Microalbuminuria (30β300 mg/day) = earliest marker of diabetic nephropathy β frequently tested
- Inulin clearance = gold standard but impractical; creatinine clearance = practical gold standard
