Importance: A waste product from muscle metabolism; high levels indicate impaired kidney function.
Importance: A waste product from muscle metabolism; high levels indicate impaired kidney function.
Importance: Measures the amount of albumin in urine; used to assess kidney damage, especially in diabetes.
Importance: Measures urea nitrogen in the blood; elevated levels may indicate kidney dysfunction.
Importance: Indicates the body's acid-base balance; low levels can suggest metabolic acidosis, often associated with kidney disease.
Importance: Estimates kidney function based on creatinine and cystatin C levels; important for assessing kidney health.
Importance: Used to differentiate between prerenal and intrinsic renal causes of acute kidney injury.
Importance: Helps identify the cause of metabolic acidosis by measuring the difference between serum cations and anions.
Importance: The ratio of sodium to potassium levels can indicate various conditions, including adrenal issues and kidney function.
Importance: A protein that is a marker of kidney function; levels are less affected by muscle mass compared to creatinine.
Importance: Measures the rate at which creatinine is cleared from the blood by the kidneys; provides an estimate of kidney function.
