@gingerw The only test that I am aware of is the Iothalimate Study which is nuclear in nature and injected in the muscle of your upper arm. It is radioactive material like a dye called "radiotracer" and excreted into the urine by globular filtration. Again, the object is to test each kidneys function or "split kidney" function as you call it.

I bet that is what it was, then. I know they forgot to tell me about stopping one medication, and it had to be rescheduled.
