Effect of environmental noise on kidney biomarkers

Caption

The effect of environmental noise and its division into low- and high-frequency components on serum creatine (sCRE) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN), two markers of kidney health. The low-frequency noise shows elevated sCRE and BUN levels compared to control just like the whole spectrum of noise, while its high-frequency component shows no effect.
