Kidney function is commonly assessed through a combination of clinical evaluation, blood tests, and urine tests. Important markers include: - Serum creatinine: Elevated levels may indicate impaired kidney function. - Blood urea nitrogen (BUN): Another marker of kidney health. - Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR): Provides an estimate of how well the kidneys are filtering. - Urinalysis: Examines urine for abnormal substances like protein or blood.
