Azotemia has three classifications, depending on its causative origin, but all three types share a few common features. All forms of azotemia are characterized by a decrease in the [[glomerular filtration rate]] (GFR) of the [[kidneys]] and increases in [[blood urea nitrogen]] (BUN) and [[blood serum|serum]] [[creatinine]] concentrations. The [[BUN-to-creatinine ratio]] (BUN:Cr) is a useful measure in determining the type of azotemia. A normal BUN:Cr is less than 15.<ref name=goljanpath>{{Cite book | author=Goljan, Edward F. | title=Rapid Review Pathology | year=2007 | publisher=Mosby | edition=2nd | isbn=0-323-04414-X | pages=396–398}}</ref>

*Azotemia may be classified into several subtypes based on location of pathology:
**Pre renal azotemia
**Intra renal azotemia
**Post renal azotemia


*Based on the duration of symptoms, [disease name] may be classified as either acute or chronic.

Overview

Classification

  • Azotemia may be classified into several subtypes based on location of pathology:
    • Pre renal azotemia
    • Intra renal azotemia
    • Post renal azotemia
  • Based on the duration of symptoms, [disease name] may be classified as either acute or chronic.
