There is no serum marker for tubular function. To evaluate function of the kidney tubules, one must examine the urine. Low urine osmolality, high urinary sodium concentration, and proteinuria are typical features of kidney tubule dysfunction or injury. This may reflect tubulointerstitial AKI or CKD. | There is no serum marker for tubular function. To evaluate function of the kidney tubules, one must examine the urine.
