Individual tests

The creatinine clearance test helps assess how well the kidneys are working. This test compares creatinine levels in urine and blood.
Your kidneys have tiny filters called glomeruli which remove waste and excess fluid from blood. A glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a blood test that checks how well your kidneys work by estimating how much blood passes through these filters each minute.
A blood alcohol test may be used for many purposes, including legal evidence, testing for alcohol poisoning, or monitoring treatment for alcohol abuse. This test also helps identify the cause of an unknown coma since alcohol intoxication can mimic a diabetic coma, cerebral trauma, or drug overdose.
Morphine is a substance that has analgesic properties but also causes sedation, euphoria, respiratory depression, and orthostatic hypotension. Chronic use can lead to tolerance and dependence. Clinical monitoring of compliance or illegal use measures these analytes.
Microalbumin tests help find small amounts of albumin that normal urinary tests can not detect. The Microalbumin test helps detect kidney damage early.
