FEUrea Calculator

Calculate the Fractional Excretion of Urea (FEUrea) to assist in AKI diagnosis when diuretics make FENa inaccurate.

FEUrea Score

22.2%
Prerenal AKI (<35%)
๐Ÿ’ก

Expert Tip

FEUrea < 35% is diagnostic of prerenal etiology. FEUrea is superior to FENa in patients receiving loop diuretics.

Calculation Methodology & Details

๐Ÿ“

Formula

FEUrea (%) = ((Urine_Urea ร— Serum_Creatinine) / (Serum_BUN ร— Urine_Creatinine)) ร— 100

Evaluates urea clearance relative to creatinine to diagnose kidney perfusion deficits.

How FEUrea is Calculated

Follow these steps to use this calculator:

1

Enter Blood & Urine Labs

Input BUN, creatinine, and urine urea values.

2

Read FEUrea Score

Verify if prerenal (<35%) or intrinsic (>35%).

FAQ

How is FENa used to evaluate acute kidney injury (AKI)?
Fractional Excretion of Sodium (FENa) under 1% suggests prerenal azotemia (kidney hypoperfusion), whereas FENa greater than 2% indicates intrinsic acute tubular necrosis (ATN).
Which eGFR equation is recommended by current KDIGO guidelines?
The CKD-EPI (2021) race-free serum creatinine formula is the preferred standard for staging Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD Stages 1 through 5).
Can nephrology tools replace comprehensive medical diagnostics?
No. Renal and urologic calculators assist clinical decision-making. Comprehensive assessment requires complete urinalysis, renal imaging, and evaluation by a board-certified nephrologist or urologist.
