A normal kidney removes the metabolic waste products from your blood. It also regulates the acid-base balance, as well as the water content in the body.
The volume of blood delivered to the kidneys is approximately 1200 ml/min.
Low urine volume
In case of increased production of vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone), your kidneys produce low urine volume.
Specimen collection
Improper collection of urine sample is the most common cause of error in the creatinine clearance test.
Disease
Pyelonephritis that resulted from untreated lower urinary tract infection is commonly seen in women.
You might notice that every time you consult your doctor for a certain illness, urinalysis is one of the most requested laboratory tests. This is because almost all diseases, especially kidney problems, can affect renal function.
