Question
Which of the following is FALSE?Group of answer choicesCreatinine is a chemical waste product that is generated during normal muscle metabolism, and filtered out of the blood by the kidneyNitrogen in the blood comes from the waste product, ureaEddie was found to have increased serum creatinineBlood urea nitrogen (BUN) decreases when the kidneys are injured, due to the lack of urea production
Solution
The statement that is FALSE is: "Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) decreases when the kidneys are injured, due to the lack of urea production".
In fact, when the kidneys are injured or not functioning properly, they are less able to remove urea from the blood, which leads to an increase in the level of BUN, not a decrease.
