Normally, people have two kidneys located on both sides of the spine and are approximate to the size of a human fist. The kidneys are involved in the excretion of toxins such as creatinine, uric acid, urea and waste products from the body. It also regulates the fluid and electrolyte balance in the body, synthesizes hormones like erythropoietin, renin, and vitamin D.
Those with kidney diseases or diseases affecting kidney function require an assessment of kidney function. The renal or kidney function tests help in identifying renal diseases, monitoring the progression of kidney diseases, and the kidney’s response to ongoing therapies.
