Which of the following lab tests could be used to follow renal function?
  1. Creatinine clearance.
  2. Serum sodium levels.
  3. Total bilirubin
  4. Serum amylase.
Explanation
Answer: A - Creatinine clearance gives an approximation of GFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate) and can be used to follow renal function. Serum sodium levels may reflect renal status, but are not generally used to follow renal function as they do not reflect GFR as closely. Bilirubin levels correlate with hepatic function and serum amylase correlates to pancreatic function.
