Full origin of EUC →Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between EUC and U&E?
They are the same test under two names. EUC (electrolytes, urea and creatinine) is the usual label in Australia and New Zealand; U&E, or UEC, is the more common wording in the UK. Both report sodium, potassium, urea and creatinine.
What does an EUC blood test check for?
Chiefly how well the kidneys are clearing waste, plus the body's salt and fluid balance. Raised urea or creatinine can point to kidney impairment or dehydration, while abnormal sodium or potassium can affect the heart and nerves.
