Doctors use blood chemistry tests to check the levels of different chemicals and electrolytes, such as potassium and sodium, in the blood. Doctors also check the blood for high levels of calcium and creatinine (a compound passed from the body in the urine). The level of creatinine in the blood is directly correlated with kidney health. When the kidneys are damaged, the blood level of creatinine rises.
Campus Construction Update
The Menino building lobby entrance is currently closed. This, along with the ongoing Yawkey building entrance closure, will help us bring you an even better campus experience that matches the exceptional care you've come to expect. Please enter the Menino and Yawkey buildings through the Moakley building, and make sure to leave extra time to get to your appointment. Thank you for your patience.
