    Glossary Renal Function

    refers to how well kidneys filter waste and balance fluids

    Renal function, also known as kidney function, refers to how well the kidneys are performing their essential tasks, such as filtering waste products and excess fluids from the blood, regulating electrolytes, and maintaining overall fluid balance. It is often assessed through tests like serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which provide insights into the kidneys' efficiency and health.
