While accurate measurement of the excretory aspect of renal function is clearly a vital part of the assessment and follow-up of many patients with renal or urological disease, this unfortunately is not always easy to obtain. Screening tests such as BUN, serum creatinine and I.V.P. may not become abnormal until 2/3 of renal function has been lost, so that more finite clinical tests are necessary. Those commonly used are the creatinine clearance and the P.S.P. test. It is our experience, considering the overall hospital population, that 1/4 to 1/3 of these tests give inaccurate results when the urine is collected without a catheter.
