What are the biochemical tests for renal failure?

I know there is blood work to check: creatinine level and urea nitrogen, as well as urine tests for total protein and albumin....I'm a diabetic and am tested periodically for these panels to make sure my kidneys haven's been compromised. The ranges each are: total protein: 6.4-8.3 albumin: 3.5-5.2 urea nitrogen: 7-25 creatinine: .6-1.3 But there are a lot of things affect the outcome when you take these tests. For example: Are you sick? Have you been drinking enough fluids? And many others (medicine you are taking) Hope this helps!
