NCIt definition : The percentage of the total sodium filtered by the kidney that is excreted in the
urine. The fractional excretion is calculated by multiplying urinary sodium concentration
by the plasma creatinine concentration, then dividing by the urinary creatinine concentration
multiplied by the plasma sodium concentration. The resulting ratio is multiplied by
100.;
Alternative definition : CDISC: A measurement of the fractional excretion of sodium that is computed based
upon the concentrations of sodium and creatinine in both blood and urine.;
