The document discusses renal function tests which evaluate how well the kidneys are functioning. There are three main groups of renal function tests: urine and blood analysis, assessment of renal clearance, and additional specialized tests. Renal function tests are useful for early detection of kidney damage, monitoring disease progression and treatment effectiveness, and predicting when renal replacement therapy may be needed. Common tests include analysis of urine volume, appearance, constituents, and sediment as well as blood tests of urea and creatinine levels. Clearance tests measure the glomerular filtration rate using markers like inulin, creatinine, or iohexol.
The slides show the gastric and pancreatic function test along with the significance of these tests and the conditions in which the values of which increase.
these clearance test plays an very important role in determining the functioning capacity and working status of kidney.
and we estimate how amount of compund is excreted in the urine and absorption too.
and i also attached the mathematical caluculation to identify the metabolic valuve of urea, creatinine, inulin clearance by kidney.
This slide briefly imparts the knowledge of Amylase and Lipase enzymes. The clinical importance, calculation, concentration, sources and principle of amylase estimation are the major components of uploaded slide.

Diuretics are substances whose administration increases urine production. Practical definition of a diuretic is a drug which increases the renal excretion of salt and water.
I created this slide to help summarise the main concepts from topic on Renal Diuretics.
The kidneys play a vital role in the excretion of waste products and toxins such as urea, creatinine and uric acid, regulation of extracellular fluid volume, serum osmolality and electrolyte concentrations, as well as the production of hormones like erythropoietin and 1,25 dihydroxy vitamin D and renin.
Specimen collection requirements are dependent on the procedure or test requested. Generally, for serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels, no additional patient preparation is required, and a random blood sample suffices. However, the effect of recent high protein ingestion may increase serum creatinine and urea levels to a significant extent. Also, hydration status can have a considerable impact on BUN measurement.
For timed urine collections such as the 24-hour urine creatinine clearance, it is essential that urine be collected accurately over the required period as under or over collection will affect final results. Hence, a 5 to 8-hour timed collection is preferable to a 24-hour collection.
There are several clinical laboratory tests that are useful in investigating and evaluating kidney function. Clinically, the most practical tests to assess renal function is to get an estimate of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and to check for proteinuria (albuminuria).
Tests of renal function can be used to assess overall renal function by direct measurement or estimation of the glomerular filtration rate. Estimation of the GFR is utilized to determine the presence of renal impairment.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

16. There is no plasma constituent whose conc.
depends solely on the functionality of kidneys.
Frequently used are 2 normal metabolic wastes
Excreted by kidneys accumulates in renal
dysfunction ↑blood levels
I) Blood Urea Nitrogen >> 8-25 mg%
begin to rise only after 50% renal damage
II) Plasma Creatinine >> 0.6 – 1.5 mg%
More reliable as BUN is subjected to variations
17. Vol. of plasma that is cleared of a substance in
unit time, by its’ urinary excretion ml/min
Calculated as: C = UV/P
Predominantly determine GFR: Relationship as
—
Correlated more directly with the status of kidney
function employed to assess GFR,RPF &
GFR = C No reabs, No
Secret
INULIN
GFR > C Much reabs, No Secret Gluc, AA, Na+, Cl-
GFR < C No reabs, Much Secret PAH, Diodrast
18. Characteristics of an Ideal Marker :
Constant rate of production (or for exogenous
marker can be delivered IV at a constant rate)
Freely filterable at the glomerulus (minimal
protein binding)
No tubular reabsorption/secretion
No extrarenal elimination or metabolism
Availability of an accurate & reliable assay
For exogenous markers-- safe, convenient, readily
available, inexpensive & physiologically inert
19. Various markers used :
A) Exogenous >>
1) Inulin (gold standard but technically demanding)
2) Non-radiolabelled contrast media (e.g. Iohexol)
3) Radiolabelled compounds (e.g. 99m Tc-DTPA)
B) Endogenous >>
1) Creatinine (marginally overestimates—most widely
used in clinical practice)
2) Urea (one of the 1st
markers– not used at present)
20. Approximation of bedside GFR with limited
accuracy by “Cockroft & Gault formula”
Most widely used & best validated for adults
Ccr =(140-Age)x(Wt in Kg)/(Plasma
Creatinine x72)
[Correction factor for females = 0.85]
value to such formulas for GFR prediction is likely
to increase when an accurate plasma creatinine
assay is performed along with inhibition of
tubular secretion by cimetidine/probenecid.
21. Applying “Fick’s Principle” to
kidney :
Amount of a sub excreted by kidney in unit time(UV)
=RPF X renal A-V diff. in its plasma conc.(Pa - Pv)
RPF(ml/min) =UV / (Pa - Pv)
Criteria of the marker to be used
:
Almost totally extracted from plasma with each
passage through kidney
Not metabolised/stored/produced by kidney
22. Use of PAH Clearance to measure
RPF/RBF:
Cont. low dose PAH inf. plasma conc. Constant
All PAH excreted in urinePv(PAH)=0eliminated
≡> RPF = UV/Pa(PAH) = Clearance of PAH(C-PAH)
10% RPF perfuses non-excretory portionsERPF
True RPF = ERPF/0.9
RBF = true RPF / (1 – Haematocrit value)
Normal ERPF = 600-650 ml/min/1.73 sq.mt BSA
