Most tests of renal function assess glomerular function, tubular function, or renal plasma flow. Glomerular function should be determined initially by measuring clearance of endogenous creatinine. Tubular function is best determined clinically by measuring urine concentrating ability of the kidney. At present, no test for measuring renal plasma flow is both accurate and readily available.
大多数肾功能检查评估的是肾小球功能、肾小管功能或肾血浆流量。肾小球功能最初应通过测量内源性肌酐清除率来确定。临床上，肾小管功能最好通过测量肾脏的尿液浓缩能力来确定。目前，尚无一种既准确又易于进行的测量肾血浆流量的检查方法。
