    Fractional Excretion of Urea (FEUrea)

    Determines the cause of renal failure. Similar to the FENa, but can be used on patients on diuretics.
    Pearls/Pitfalls

    While lesser known than FENa, the FEUrea can be used in patients on diuretics, since urea excretion is not significantly affected by diuretics.
