Method Description
Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference
Blood and timed urine samples are obtained after continuous intravenous infusion of iothalamate and para-aminohippurate (PAH), the patient is allowed to equilibrate. Both iothalamate and PAH are measured by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). Renal clearance is calculated using the standard clearance formula.

Day(s) Performed
Outlines the days the test is performed. This field reflects the day that the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means that assays are performed multiple times during the day.
