Renal Function Tests and Normal Ranges by Mohamed Ahmed is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Renal function tests are groups of laboratory assays that detect renal damage and help determine the cause. They evaluate glomerular function like GFR and tubular function like electrolyte levels. GFR is measured by creatinine clearance and is the main measure of kidney excretory function. Blood urea and creatinine levels along with their ratio help identify pre-renal, renal, or post-renal causes of impaired function. Other tests include urine analysis and electrolyte, bicarbonate, and pH levels from arteri
