Elevated BUN: creatinine ratio favors UPPER over lower GI bleed.

Why?

1) Hb in stomach --> amino acids (aa).
2) aa absorbed by small intestine.
3) aa transported and taken up by liver.
4) In the liver, aa undergo deamination, leading to release of NH3. Image

5) NH3 (aka ammonia) is converted to urea by the urea cycle, leading to elevated blood urea levels.
6) Meantime, creatinine is not influenced by the protein/aa bolus.
7) Thus, BUN/creatinine ratio is increased.
3/4

So why does blood cause this bump in urea and increase in BUN/creatinine ratio, whereas a steak dinner does not?

Because blood has poor BIOLOGICAL VALIUE (the protein is poorly utilized by the body).

The LOWER the biological value of a protein, the HIGHER the urea.

Sobre o mercado de #fertilizantes

A #Russia continua sendo o principal parceiro comercial do Brasil, com 23% de nossas importações. O insumo mais exportado ao Brasil foi o #nitratodeamonio - que teve queda de 52% no volume importado este ano ⤵️
O fertilizante mais importado, foi o KCL (#potassio), com mais de 8 mmt e aqui o destaque ficou com o Canadá, com a Russia perdendo seu posto (em set, o país representou só 12% do volume importado)⤵️
Destaque para os EUA que está exportando um recorde de #nitrogenados, já que na UE os preços do NG inviabilizaram a produção e comércio do insumo. Para o Brasil, o principal exportador de #urea foi Omã, seguido pela Rússia e Catar, de SAM foi a China com 95% de mktshare⤵️

Os #fertilizantes tiveram mais uma queda de preços esta semana, incluindo os nitrogenados, como #urea e Sulfato de Amônia. #naturalgas também registrou queda de preços, já que estoques na Europa estão, quase, cheios. O problema para a #commodity energética, deverá vir no início⤵️
do próximo ano, muito provavelmente, pulando a sazonalidade baixa, entre fevereiro e abril. Mas o que explicar a queda de preços dos fertilizantes? Simples: a demanda. Sabemos que independe de quão pequena seja uma oferta, se a demanda for menor, os preços caem e é justamente ⤵️
isto que está acontecendo com o mercado de fertilizantes. Todos os produtores, eu inclusive, estão avaliando a redução nas aplicações, buscando usar a reserva de nutrientes do solo, já que em anos anteriores, as aplicações foram normais. A Índia ainda não anunciou nenhum ⤵️

Discussion on #pricerise starts in #LokSabha with Manish Tewari, INC speaking:
- In last 8 yrs, 5 economic values (savings, investment, production, consumption, employment) have degraded
- 23 crore have slid back into poverty
- 77% of country's wealth concentrated in 1% people
Tewari on #PriceRise:
- 100-166 billionaires in country, but poor people suffering
- started due to BJP's #demonetization
- then #GST imposition made MSMEs suffer, still not recovered
- 10.6 lakh crore money outstanding in this sector
- 8& #unemployment in 2022
#MonsoonSession
Tewari on #PriceRise:
- #MNREGA was called 'gaddha khodne wali scheme' by NDA, now keeping families alive
- Instead of filling money in common peoples pockets, in 2014-2022 4.32 lakh crore concession given to businesses
- Why imposing #GST on cremation sites? How is this justice?

According to specialists in Denmark,
the #energycrisis causes #fertilizer plants to shut down worldwide.

This could trigger a #food crisis,
at least for those who cannot afford to pay the 4-fold price for fertilizer...
(they expect it to happen in 2022)

Meanwhile,
already in India
DAP (Diammonium Phosphate #fertilizer) is becoming scarce.
Farmers need it now, to start sowing in time.
The main ingredients would come from China... but not this year.
"50% of the world´s food relies on #fertilisers"
🤷
(note: rice isn´t mentioned here, as it´s an interview with an expert from Norway.
In fact, conventional rice production consumes loads of chemicals, too)

Nexo de Guillermo Benzecry Izaguirre (miembro de la Ilegal junta directiva de #Monómeros) con narcoclan Ochoa en Colombia ya había sido revelado por #LaTabla en OCT2019. "La empresa Monómeros está produciendo urea y vendiéndola a los cárteles", dijo ayer el diputado José Brito.
Las investigaciones que dirige el parlamentario respecto a los daños perpetrados contra la República por la precedente Asamblea Nacional (2016-2021) aseguran que la #urea es vendida en primera instancia a Roberto Benzecry Izaguirre, hermano y socio del agente de Guaidó.
Según el parlamentario (que contradictoriamente fue uno de quienes aprobó la designación de Guillermo Benzecry como miembro de la ilegal directiva de PDVSA CVP) la urea, para procesar cocaína, se estaría vendiendo a los carteles de los hermanos Ochoa y de alias "Doble Rueda".

STOP TIPU-TIPU PETANI !!!
Masih menganggap #urea itu pupuk?? ini kesalahan fatal...
#Urea lebih tepatnya dianggap Racun..
2. Pemakaian nya secara berkepanjangan akan merusak ecosystem Tanah Dan kehidupan Tanah. Pd awalnya #Urea adlh berbahan garam cyanat yg direaksikan pd Ammonium Hydroxida..
3. Namun urea pabrikan kini menggunakan Ammonium, Hidrogen, Oksigen dan Carbon.. Inilah generasi urea yg terburuk. Dr pd nenek moyang nya dahulu yg pertama di buat pd thn 1928 oleh ferederich wohler.
