== Clinical assessment == Clinical assessment can be used to assess the function of the kidneys. This is because a person with abnormally functioning kidneys may have symptoms that develop. For example, a person with chronic kidney disease may develop [[oedema]] due to failure of the kidneys to regulate water balance. They may develop evidence of chronic kidney disease, that can be used to assess its severity, for example [[hypertension|high blood pressure]], [[osteoporosis]] or [[anaemia]]. If the kidneys are unable to excrete [[urea]], a person may develop a widespread [[itch]] or [[confusion]].{{citation needed|date=July 2020}}
