Summary

This study is testing how reliable a kidney function test called renal functional reserve is. Researchers will give healthy people and those with kidney problems a protein shake, then take blood and urine samples to see how well their kidneys respond. The goal is to see if this test can be used in future studies to better monitor kidney health.
