Understanding Kidney Function Test
The main purpose of a kidney function test is to find out how well your kidneys are working.
A kidney function test is a blood or urine test that checks how well your kidneys are working. The kidneys remove waste products and excess fluid from the body. They also make hormones that control blood pressure, red blood cell production, and calcium levels.
Some common tests for kidney function include:
• Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) level
• Creatinine level
• Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)
• Urinalysis
