Calculate Fractional Excretion of Urea (FEUrea) for acute kidney injury (AKI) diagnosis. FEUrea helps distinguish pre-renal (dehydration, shock) from intrinsic renal causes. Formula: FEUrea = (U_urea × P_Cr) / (P_urea × U_Cr) × 100. <35% suggests pre-renal; >50% suggests intrinsic renal disease.

Rates and fees change frequently. Always confirm the current figures with the official authority before relying on this result.
  • Diagnostic aid for AKI. Requires physician interpretation.

Formula

FEUrea = (urine urea × plasma Cr) ÷ (plasma urea × urine Cr) × 100
  • Fractional Excretion of Urea (FEUrea) Calculator gives you a fast estimate using your inputs and updates instantly when you change any value.
  • Formula: FEUrea = (urine urea × plasma Cr) ÷ (plasma urea × urine Cr) × 100
  • Input definitions: • Urine urea: the numeric urine urea used in the calculation • Plasma urea (BUN): the numeric plasma urea (bun) used in the calculation • Urine creatinine: the numeric urine creatinine used in the calculation • Plasma creatinine: the numeric plasma creatinine used in the calculation
  • Manual method: write down each input, apply the formula step by step, then compare your manual result with the calculator output.
  • Enter values using the units shown next to each input field (e.g. kg, cm, years).
  • This calculator uses widely accepted health formulas and returns screening estimates only. It does not replace a diagnosis from a qualified healthcare professional.
  • Compare your result with published reference ranges. Values outside the normal range warrant a conversation with your doctor.
  • Practical tip: test a low, medium, and high scenario to understand sensitivity before making decisions.

Example Calculation

Inputs
  • Urine urea: 300 mg/dL
  • Plasma urea (BUN): 40 mg/dL
  • Urine creatinine: 100 mg/dL
  • Plasma creatinine: 2 mg/dL

Suppose you enter: Urine urea = 300, Plasma urea (BUN) = 40, Urine creatinine = 100, Plasma creatinine = 2.0. The calculator applies the formula (FEUrea = (urine urea × plasma Cr) ÷ (plasma urea × urine Cr) × 100) and shows all output values below. Change any input field to immediately see how the result changes.
