What this Renal Function Test format includes
Every line carries the result, its unit and the reference range, with out-of-range values flagged. The values below are sample values, shown so you can see the layout.
| Test | Result | Unit | Reference range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blood Urea | 48 ↑ | mg/dL | 10 - 40 |
| Serum Creatinine | 1.6 ↑ | mg/dL | 0.5 - 1.5 |
| Serum Uric Acid | 6.2 | mg/dL | 2.6 - 7.0 |
| Serum Electrolytes | |||
| Serum Sodium | 138 | mmol/L | 135 - 155 |
| Serum Potassium | 5.6 ↑ | mmol/L | 3.5 - 5.5 |
| Serum Chloride | 101 | mmol/L | 96 - 108 |
How a Renal Function Test report is read
- Renal function tests should be interpreted in conjunction with the patient's clinical findings and other laboratory investigations.
- Serum creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), where available, should be interpreted together when assessing kidney function.
- Electrolyte abnormalities may occur in renal disease as well as non-renal conditions. Clinical correlation is advised.
What commonly goes wrong with a Renal Function Test
The practical errors that actually cause repeat samples and misread results, mostly at collection and at the point the result is read.
- Blood urea and BUN are not the same number. Blood urea is about 2.14 times BUN, and printing a urea value against a BUN reference range, or the reverse, is one of the commonest report errors on this panel.
- eGFR cannot be issued without age and sex, and it assumes a steady state. In a patient whose creatinine is moving quickly up or down, the eGFR printed beside it is not valid.
- A creatinine inside the reference range does not mean normal kidneys. A substantial share of function can be lost before creatinine leaves the range, and in a thin or elderly patient with low muscle mass it stays low for longer still.
- When the panel carries electrolytes, the potassium follows sample-handling rules, not the patient: haemolysed blood, or blood left unseparated, gives a falsely high potassium and should be recollected.

What does a Renal Function Test report format include?
A renal-function report format with urea, creatinine, uric acid and serum electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride). Each line shows the result, its unit and the reference range, with out-of-range values flagged, followed by clinical notes on how the test is interpreted.
Can this Renal Function Test format carry my lab's brand?
Yes. On HealthFlow the report is white-label: your lab's logo, letterhead, address and colours replace the "Your Lab Name" placeholder, and it can be printed or delivered on WhatsApp from your own number.
