impaired kidney function
What is the function of a creatinine test?
The creatinine test is used to diagnose impaired kidney function and to determine renal (kidney) damage.
What is the presence of the protein albumin in the urine and is a sign of impaired kidney function?
Albuminuria
Which urine condition as detected by urinalysis is an indication of impaired kidney function?
albuminuria - presence of protein albumin
What kidney disease is inherited and the cysts slowly reduce the kidney function and eventually leads to kidney failure?
The condition known as polycystic kidney disease is inherited and the cysts slowly reduce kidney function and leads to kidney failure. the condition can also effect the liver and pancreas.
Which blood test is a rough indicator of kidney function?
blood urea nitrogen The inulin test gives a good indication of the glomular filtration rate, a basic measure of kidney function.

Is kidney failure and kidney insufficiency mean the same thing?
Kidney failure is an acute stage, and can often be a secondary complication to another condition or situation, such as from a reaction to medication or from dehydration. Chronic kidney disease is a chronic illness. Acute kidney failure has a good chance of being 100% reversible if caught early. Chronic kidney disease is manageable with dialysis, but is not reversible.

This condition is most common in patients whose kidney function is impaired and may occur when doctors, nurses, or other healthcare professionals administer greater amounts of water-producing fluids and medications than the patient's body can excrete.
What causes low GFR?
GFR means glomerular filtration rate. It is a way to measure the kidney's function. In adults the GFR should be somewhere between 100 and 130, while in children it should be about 110. Since the GFR is a measure of the kidney's function it is used to help classify kidney disease. GFR > 90 with no signs of kidney damage like proteinurea = normal GFR > 90 with signs of kidney damage = Category 1 GFR 60-90 = Category 2 (mild) GFR 30-60 = Category 3 (moderate) GFR 30-15 = Category 4 (severe) GFR < 15 = Category 5 (kidney failure)
