Kidney function

Kidney function tests are common and convenient examinations used to assess kidney function. The results help doctors make an initial judgment about whether the examinee has kidney-related diseases and their severity. They play a crucial role in diagnosing diseases, evaluating conditions, and guiding treatment. Kidney function tests are also typically included in routine physical examinations. Common indicators for kidney function tests include: serum creatinine (Cr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum uric acid (UA), cystatin C (cys C), and serum β2-microglobulin.
