Renal Function Tests in Nephritis
'IFIIERE iS mlluChi truth in the statenient that the laboratory is the pacemaker of me(lical progress, but yet, when we come to critically exaninle our knowledge of impaired renal function, we realize that, at least as far as the study of renal disease is concerned, the advance has not been very great.

BACKGROUND The markers of renal function test assess the normal functioning of kidneys. These markers may be radioactive and non radioactive. They indicate the glomerular filtration rate, concentrating and diluting capacity of kidneys (tubular function). If there is an increase or decrease in the valves of these markers it indicates dysfunction of kidney. AIM The aim of this review is to comp...
متن کاملOld and new tests of renal function.
In 1827 a lecturer in clinical chemistry at Guy's Hospital, one John Bostock, demonstrated impaired urinary concentrating ability in a group of Richard Bright's patients with advanced renal disease, thus performing the first modern renal function test.1 My purpose in this presentation is to review the subsequent development of the study of renal function in health and disease, with emphasis on ...
متن کاملSimple Tests of Renal Function Using Creatinine, Phenolsulphonphthalein, and Pitressin.
The reciprocals of the blood urea nitrogen and plasma creatinine levels, the maximum specific gravity of the urine after vasopressin, and three modified forms of the phenolsulphonphthalein (P.S.P.) excretion test were found to be directly related to the glomerular filtration rate (G.F.R.) in hospital patients. From 34 to 75 patients were studied for each test, and in 21 patients all tests were ...
متن کاملRenal Function Tests in Nephritis and Allied Conditions.
In health the kidneys are working well within the limits of their functional capacity in the same way as do the other organs of the body. The kidneys possess a very large reserve power and renal failure does not become apparent until the whole of this reserve power has been drawn upon. It is thus important to differentiate between renal impairment and renal failure. Let us assume that tllere ar...
