Renal Function TestsRenal Function Tests
1. Urine routine examination: appearance, volume, spgravity, pH, glucose, protein and sediment.
2. Blood urea conc.
Blood urea nitrogen (BUN).
3. Serum creatinine conc..
4. Clearance tests to measure the GFR.
a. Inulin clearance test.b. Creatinine clearance test.
c. Urea clearance test.
5. Serum electrolytes (Na, K, Cl, HCO).
6. Urinary total protein, Microalbumin.7. Other Investigations.

Blood UreaBlood Urea
Urea in blood is mostly derived from catabolism of
protein. It is freely filtered through glomeruli.
It is passively reabsorbed from the filtrate.
Its blood conc. may rise due to increased production,
decreased filtration or increased reabsorption. Normal blood conc. is 15 50 mg/dl of blood.
BUN is the nitrogen derived from protein breakdown
only. It is calculated as:
Urea X 28/60 = BUNBUN X 60/28 = Urea

Serum CreatinineSerum Creatinine
Creatinine is derived from creatine.
Its blood conc. depends on total muscle mass.
It is filtered freely through glomeruli.
It is not reabsorbed from the filtrate.
Small amount of it is secreted by the tubules.
Its blood conc. rises due to decreased filtration andincreased production.
Normal blood conc 0.6-1.2 mg/dl of blood.

Clearance testsClearance tests
Clearance test measures the volume of plasma
completely cleared of a substance per minute. Itis a measure of GFR.
Inulin clearance test is the most ideal but a littledifficult to perform. Most convenient and usefulis the creatinine clearance test.
Clearance of a substance (GFR) is calculatedusing the following formula:
Clearance (GFR) = Conc. in urine X 24 hrs urinevolume/ Conc. in blood X Collecting time in min.
Normal creatinine clearance is:Adults < 55 yrs: 95 145 ml/min.
Clearance decreases progressively with age.

Examination of CSFExamination of CSF
Introduction: Cerebrospinal fluid is formedfrom plasma by the filtering & secretory activitiesof the choroid plexus in the lateral ventricles. Itpasses through the third & fourth ventricles into
the subarachnoid space between the pia mater& arachnoid mater, & completely surrounds thebrain & spinal cord. CSF is reabsorbed into theblood stream by the arachnoid villi which projectinto the subarachnoid space.
In the adult the total volume of CSF is about 140ml.

Functions of CSF:
The CSF supports the brain &
protects it against injury. It also has asimilar function to lymph & remove waste
products of metabolism.
