2. Glomerular filtration rate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glomerular_filtration_rate

   Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the volume of fluid filtered from the renal (kidney) glomerular capillaries into the Bowman's capsule per unit time. [4] Central to the physiologic maintenance of GFR is the differential basal tone of the afferent (input) and efferent (output) arterioles (see diagram).

3. Assessment of kidney function - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assessment_of_kidney_function

   Both GFR and C Cr may be accurately calculated by comparative measurements of substances in the blood and urine, or estimated by formulas using just a blood test result (eGFR and eC Cr) The results of these tests are used to assess the excretory function of the kidneys.

4. Basic metabolic panel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_metabolic_panel

   Outside the United States, blood tests made up of the majority of the same biochemical tests are called urea and electrolytes (U&E or "U and Es"), or urea, electrolytes, creatinine (UEC or EUC or CUE), and are often referred to as 'kidney function tests' as they also include a calculated estimated glomerular filtration rate. The BMP provides ...

5. Filtration fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filtration_fraction

   GFR on its own is the most common and important measure of renal function. However, in conditions such as renal artery stenosis , blood flow to the kidneys is reduced. Filtration fraction must therefore be increased in order to perform the normal functions of the kidney.

9. Fractional excretion of sodium - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional_excretion_of_sodium

   This is the numerator in the equation. The denominator is the total amount of sodium filtered by the kidneys. This is calculated by multiplying the plasma sodium concentration by the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) calculated using creatinine filtration. The flow rates then cancel out, simplifying to the standard equation: [1]
