In May, it announced an upgrade that cut that time to 20 minutes. Now Teslaâs chief technology officer, JB Straubel, says the company eventually could cut the time it takes to fully charge the battery to just five minutesâor not much longer than it takes to fill a gas tank.
Creatinine has been found to be a fairly reliable indicator of kidney function. Elevated creatinine level signifies impaired kidney function or kidney disease. As the kidneys become impaired for any reason, the creatinine level in the blood will rise due to poor clearance of creatinine by the kidneys. Abnormally high levels of creatinine thus warn of possible malfunction or failure of the kidneys.
Having a low level of blood creatinine indicates nothing more than an efficient and effective pair of kidneys. A further test of kidney function is to collect all the urine passed over a period of twenty-four hours and then to compare the amount of creatinine in the blood to the level in the blood stream (creatinine clearance test).
