Which of the following tests can help you evaluate a patient’s kidney function?
  1. Blood urea nitrogen
  2. Creatinine
  3. Both A and B
  4. Neither A nor B
Explanation
Answer - C - Both blood urea nitrogen and creatinine are cleared by the kidneys. They are valuable tools because they are only cleared through renal filtration. Keep in mind, however, that they remain very unspecific and will only indicate a possible problem, not a definitive diagnosis.
