Fractional Excretion of Urea (FEUrea)

 

Input
 

Urine Urea		mg/dL mmol/L
Serum Urea		mg/dL mmol/L
Urine Creatinine		mcmol/L mg/dL mg/mL mmol/L
Serum Creatinine		mcmol/L mg/dL mmol/L

 

Result
 
Important: Inputs must be complete to perform calculation.

 

FE Urea		% fraction percent rate ratio
Decimal Precision   0 1 2 3

 

Data action

 

     
 
Include literature references: Yes   No

 

 

 
Equations used
 

FEUrea = (UrineUrea / SerumUrea) / (UrineCreatinine / SerumCreatinine) * 100
