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!
