The kidney performs various functions in the body with the regulation of blood volume, blood pH, blood pressure, and removal of waste from the body. To evaluate these functions kidney function test will be performed.
Renal Function Test also measures the Glomerulus Filtration Rate (GFR) which assesses how properly your kidney clears waste from the body. Normally kidney function test consists of blood and urine analysis which help to examine any kind of abnormalities related to these functions.
Kidney function tests include blood and urine tests which help to determine the function of kidneys.
Different types of tests will be performed to check the function of kidneys and a few important ones are as follows:
is the test used to measure the amount of urea nitrogen (formed by protein breakdown) in your blood. Urea nitrogen is a waste product that is removed from the blood by the kidney. High BUN indicates the kidney does not function properly.
measures the capacity of the kidney to filter toxins or waste products from the blood. With the help of eGFR, your doctor tells you if you have a kidney disease or not.
measures the level of creatinine in the blood. Creatinine is the waste product of muscle tissue breakdown. High levels of creatinine may indicate kidney disease.
is used to measure the level of electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate, etc. in the body fluid and blood. An imbalance in electrolytes indicates that the kidney function might be compromised.

A kidney function test includes the complete screening of blood and urine. With the blood test eGFR and electrolyte balance are examined while the urine test involves the determination of serum creatinine, blood urea, blood urea nitrogen, or infection. Also, the physical appearance of urine tells of any complications in the kidney.
The procedure for the kidney function test is very simple. In a blood test sample of blood is pricked from a vein using a small butterfly needle and collected in a small test tube. In a urine test, the urine sample is collected in a small container which is examined in laboratories and the results are shared within 24 to 48 hours. Sometimes your doctor may also recommend a complete 24-hour urine analysis for the evaluation of blood, protein, and albumin in urine which indicate kidney damage.
