Study Notes
Renal Function Tests
- Renal function tests are used to analyze the functional capacity of kidneys.
- Kidney function tests help determine the underlying reason for kidney issues.
Components of Renal Function Tests
- Urine examination
- Analysis of blood, which includes:
- Urea
- Creatinine
- Uric acid
- Electrolytes
- Protein
- Creatinine clearance
This quiz focuses on the purpose and significance of renal function tests in evaluating the functional capacity of the kidneys. Test your knowledge on this crucial aspect of kidney health.
