Aminohippuric Acid
Para-aminohippuric acid (PAH) is used as a diagnostic tool to assess kidney function, specifically renal plasma flow and tubular secretory capacity. The kidney almost completely removes it from the blood in a single pass, making the clearance rate a reliable measure of renal blood flow.
