Can it be determined from the blood whether the left or right kidney is not producing enough urine?

Dr. Med. Thomas Kreutzig

Hello and a good evening,

Unfortunately, such a statement is not possible based on a blood test. A laboratory test cannot assess the performance of a single kidney (left/right). In this case, an ultrasound examination may provide some clues. A precise differentiation is only possible in an isotopic nephrogram.

Best regards,
Dr. T. Kreutzig-Langenfeld
