If you are concerned about kidney function you can purchase some home urine test strips that will check your protein output (you do not want ANY protein in your urine as this could indicate kidney problems). The test strips depending on which one you purchase can test liver function, sugar levels, if white and red blood cells are present, specific gravety, and much more.
Do not however rely on just a home test, your physician can do a more complete urine exam which would tell the entire story on your kidney function.
