Glomerulonephritis ( 35 Questions)

Question 25 :
A nurse is explaining the role of blood tests in diagnosing glomerulonephritis to a client. Which blood test is frequently performed to assess kidney function and determine the glomerular filtration rate (GFR)?


Correct Answer: C

A) Incorrect. A complete blood count (CBC) provides information about red and white blood cell counts and is not primarily used to assess kidney function or GFR.

B) Incorrect. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) is a blood test that can be influenced by factors other than kidney function and is not a direct measure of GFR.

C) Correct. Serum creatinine is a commonly used blood test to assess kidney function and estimate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR).

D) Incorrect. C-reactive protein (CRP) is a marker of inflammation and is not typically used to assess kidney function or GFR in glomerulonephritis.
