There are a few more tests which would indicate efficacy of kidney function:

1. ACR - Albumin creatinine ratio

2. GFR

3.Blood pottassium and sodium can also be tested.. so also blood uric acid

4.. Blood haemoglobin ....become lower as kidney function deteriorate...since Adequate erythropoietin is not made available

Also please consult a nephrologist if you have a doubt on kidney function... Kidney is a very important organ...
