How to know kidney function?
Kidneys have functions of filtration and reabsorption. In order to know how well the kidneys are working, a substance that neither can be secreted nor reabsorbed by kidneys is needed. Creatinine is a metabolic product when muscles are active and it is neither can be secreted or reabsorbed by kidney. Urea is a break down product of protein and cannot be secreted by kidneys. Both creatinine and urea are completely excreted by kidneys. However, measurement of urea cannot give a very exact result of kidney function since renal tubes will secrete some urea. Compare to the measurement of urea, measure creatinine can give us more correct information on kidney functions.
As creatinine has a close relationship with muscles. As a result, muscular people are sure to have more creatinine. Besides, creatinine is a metabolic products and the metabolism in different ages also different, therefore, age factor should be taken into consideration. Realizing many factors, GFR is expected to evaluate kidney function. GFR involves many factors, such as serum creatinine, age, sex, race. So, taking GFR as the screening test of kidney function can provide more exact information on the kidney.
