Renal function panel tests are essential for assessing kidney health. These tests measure various substances in the blood, including electrolytes, proteins, and waste products, to evaluate how well the kidneys are functioning. Key components typically include blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and chloride.

The process begins with a simple blood draw. A healthcare professional will clean the site, usually the inside of the elbow, and insert a needle to collect blood in a vial. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. Advanced equipment and standardized protocols are used to measure the concentration of each component. Results are usually available within a few days, and they help doctors diagnose kidney disorders, monitor kidney function in people with chronic conditions, and adjust medications that might affect the kidneys.
