Evaluation of a semi-automated blood urea nitrogen analyzer. 1977

D J Hanson, and N S Bretz

We compared results for urea concentrations in plasma and serum as measured with the Kimble Blood Urea Nitrogen Analyzer method as the test method with those determined by continuous-flow analysis (AutoAnalyzer 1 method) as the comparison method. We evaluated accuracy and precision for patients' samples, National Bureau of Standards Standard Reference Material, College of American Pathologists Survey Validated Reference Materials, and College of American Pathologists Quality Assurance Service control materials. We found the test method to be more accurate and precise than the comparison method.

D001806 Blood Urea Nitrogen The urea concentration of the blood stated in terms of nitrogen content. Serum (plasma) urea nitrogen is approximately 12% higher than blood urea nitrogen concentration because of the greater protein content of red blood cells. Increases in blood or serum urea nitrogen are referred to as azotemia and may have prerenal, renal, or postrenal causes.
