Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Creatinine is a protein metabolite of skeletal muscle tissue and is one of the waste products that the kidneys filter out of the blood and excrete in urine. Urea is another waste product, but it is produced in the liver from the breakdown of proteins. Uric acid is produced from the breakdown of purines in the diet and is also excreted by the kidneys. Na⁺ is not a substance found in the urinary system. Glucose is not normally found in urine and may indicate a problem with kidney function if it is present.
