INTERPRETING KIDNEY FUNCTION TESTS TEXTBOOK 2026-2027
By Alex Wiltkons, Ph.D.
Understanding kidney function tests is more than knowing laboratory values-it is about understanding what those results reveal about kidney health, recognising abnormalities, and making sense of their clinical significance.
Interpreting Kidney Function Tests Textbook 2026-2027 is a comprehensive educational resource designed to help readers develop a clearer, more confident, and clinically informed understanding of kidney function testing. It takes readers from the fundamental principles of renal physiology and laboratory assessment to the interpretation of complex findings, kidney disease patterns, and practical clinical scenarios.
Whether you are a medical student building your foundation, a nurse strengthening your clinical knowledge, a medical laboratory scientist seeking a deeper understanding of test interpretation, or another healthcare professional involved in patient assessment, this book offers an organised and accessible approach to an essential area of healthcare.
Inside this textbook, you will explore:

• The foundations of kidney function: Understand renal physiology, the major functions of the kidneys, and the principles behind commonly used kidney investigations.
• Essential kidney function tests: Explore serum creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), blood urea, electrolytes, urine testing, and albuminuria.
• Understanding acute kidney injury (AKI): Learn the principles of recognition, assessment, laboratory evaluation, and clinical interpretation.
• Chronic kidney disease (CKD): Explore kidney function assessment, disease classification, albuminuria categories, and patterns of progression.
• Advanced kidney biomarkers: Develop an understanding of emerging biomarkers and their potential role in assessing kidney injury.
• Electrolyte and metabolic disturbances: Examine important abnormalities involving potassium, sodium, acid-base balance, and other clinically relevant findings.
• Special populations and advanced investigations: Explore additional considerations in kidney assessment and the interpretation of specialised tests.
• Practical clinical application: Connect laboratory findings with patient assessment through clinical cases, calculations, review questions, and problem-solving exercises.

Why choose this textbook?

• Organised into five progressive sections that take readers from basic concepts to more advanced clinical interpretation.
• Connects laboratory science with practical clinical reasoning.
• Highlights factors that can influence test results and lead to misleading interpretations.
• Includes useful reference tables, clinical algorithms, checklists, and educational exercises.
• Encourages readers to interpret results in the context of the patient's overall clinical picture rather than relying on isolated laboratory values.

Who is this book for?
Medical students, nursing students and practising nurses, medical laboratory science students and professionals, pharmacists, allied healthcare professionals, and anyone seeking a structured understanding of kidney function tests.
Build your knowledge. Strengthen your interpretation skills. Understand what kidney function results really mean.
Interpreting Kidney Function Tests Textbook 2026-2027 is a valuable learning companion for anyone who wants to approach renal laboratory investigations with greater understanding, accuracy, and confidence.
