“May all be happy, may all be healed, may all be at peace and may no one ever suffer."
Renal function testing is a medical examination used to evaluate how well the kidneys are functioning. The kidneys play a vital role in filtering waste and excess fluids from the blood, so it is essential to assess their function in case of any suspected or diagnosed kidney disease. Renal function testing involves a range of tests, including blood tests to measure levels of creatinine and other waste products, urine tests to measure protein and other substances, and imaging tests like ultrasound or CT scan to evaluate the size and structure of the kidneys. These tests are used to help diagnose conditions such as chronic kidney disease, acute kidney injury, and other kidney disorders. Based on the test results, the healthcare provider can develop an appropriate treatment plan and monitor the effectiveness of treatment over time.
