This study analyzed one year of renal function tests in 453 patients. Abnormal results were found in 38.4%, with many tests focusing on kidney stones and acidification capacity.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Clinical Chemistry

Context:

  • Prospective study of a Renal Function Tests Unit over one year.
  • Involved 453 patients (children and adults) undergoing 600 pharmacological tests.

Purpose:

  • To analyze the activity and findings of a Renal Function Tests Unit.
  • To identify patient demographics and common reasons for renal function testing.

Summary:

  • Abnormal test results were observed in 38.4% of patients.
  • Nearly half of the tests (49.7%) were for patients with nephrolithiasis or metabolic anomalies predisposing to kidney stones, particularly idiopathic hypercalciuria.
  • Other common patient groups included those with urinary tract infections, mitochondrial disease, vesicoureteral reflux, osteoporosis, and primary Sjögren's syndrome.
  • Tests for renal acidification capacity were most frequently requested (58.5%), while urinary concentrating capacity tests after desmopressin were the most frequent isolated tests (37.2%).

Impact:

  • Highlights the prevalence of abnormal renal function test results in a clinical setting.
  • Underscores the significant role of renal function tests in diagnosing and managing kidney stone disease and related metabolic disorders.
  • Provides insights into the diagnostic utility of specific renal function tests, such as those assessing acidification and concentrating capacities.
