Kidney function tests measure how efficiently your kidneys are working. Most of these tests check how well your kidneys clear waste from your system.
Some conditions, such as diabetes or high blood pressure (hypertension), affect how well the kidneys work.
You may also need a kidney function test if you have symptoms that indicate possible kidney problems. These symptoms might include:
Blood in your urine (hematuria).
Painful urination (dysuria).
Frequent urge to urinate.
Problems with starting to pee.
Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) measures nitrogen (made from protein breakdown) in your blood.
Estimated GFR (eGFR) : calculates filtration rates based on your protein levels, age, gender, size and race.
Serum creatinine : looks for the buildup of creatinine, a waste product from muscle tissue breakdown.
Complete urine examination (15 tests): Urinalysis evaluates your urine for blood, proteins and function
