Hola @bongk, interesante e importante selección de exámenes de laboratorios, y bien explicada la razón por la que se indican, y lo que nos quieren decir también.
Aquí en latinoamérica no sé si es igal en Europa o en África), por lo general, se indica glicemia úrea y creatinina a la vez, es raro que no se haga. Y aunque la glicemia no es específica para evaluar función renal, puede ser una buena guía en la química sanguínea.
La glucosa no se debe filtrar por los riñones, pero sto puede pasar cuando la glicemia (azpucar en sangre) está por encima de 180-200 mg/dL. Es decir, que si vemos una glucosuria, podemos intuir que la glucosa estaba en sangre por encima de esos valores, pero también pdoemos hacernos la idea de que la afectación renal está en curso.
Lo que compartiste está bien, a mi parecer, sólo que quería complementar con esta información. Saludos. Y buen fin de año.
