A member asked:
Why is bun, creatinine, and electrolyte levels ordered on someone with ards?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sick patient: When a patient has ards, thje patient is very sick. Thus other organs can get damaged including the kidney. BUN and creatinine are makers of kidney injury and your doctors are going to monitor its function routinely. The electrolytes are also changing and need to be corrected routinely.
