renal function tests

Renal function tests are medical tests that assess how well your kidneys are working. The kidneys filter waste and excess fluids from your blood, which are then excreted as urine. Key tests include measuring levels of creatinine and urea in the blood and checking urine output. These indicators help doctors evaluate the kidneys' filtering ability, identify any potential problems, and monitor conditions like diabetes or hypertension that can affect kidney health. Regular testing can ensure that kidneys remain healthy and function properly.
