Clinical biochemistry

Kidney function

No items found.

Explore background principles of how the kidneys work and how these processes are monitored using function testing. Analyse and diagnose renal pathologies using case study data, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) calculations, and function result panels.

Learning outcomes

  • Apply knowledge of the correlation between renal structure and function and how the internal molecular processes and disease can impact that function.
  • Demonstrate the ability to analyse renal function data according to reference parameters.
  • Determine the clinical significance of hepatic function and their constraints, whilst using the data to justify a clinical diagnosis.

Skills

Manipulating and Presenting Data

  • How to calculate uncorrected and corrected glomerular filtration rate (GFR) specifically including creatinine clearance
  • How to calculate urinary volume per minute

Concepts, Principles and Theories

  • How general processes of the kidneys are carried out
  • How kidney function tests measure kidney parameters and their purpose and appropriateness for certain renal pathologies

Interpreting and Analysing Data

  • How to identify the correct stage of renal disease and how it impacts function
  • How to interpret proteinuria
  • How to interpret a panel of different blood results in relation to clinical kidney disease

"I find Smart Worksheets a lot less stressful than full written lab reports and much easier to cope with in terms of my ADHD and anxiety. I feel that they allow people with learning difficulties to be assessed in a way that is more beneficial to our needs, and help us get the marks we may have lost out on in assignments with large chunks of writing, or take a lot longer to do."
