Included Tests
This test measures the amount of urea (a waste product) in your blood to check how well your kidneys are removing waste. Higher levels may indicate kidney problems, dehydration, or a high-protein diet, while lower levels may be seen with liver issues or poor nutrition.
Creatinine is produced by your muscles and filtered out by the kidneys. This test helps assess kidney function. Raised levels suggest reduced kidney performance or dehydration, while low levels may be linked to low muscle mass or liver conditions.
Sodium is an essential mineral that helps control your body’s fluid balance and supports muscle and nerve function. Abnormal sodium levels can occur due to dehydration, overhydration, certain medications, or kidney and hormone disorders.
Potassium is vital for healthy heart and muscle function. This test checks for imbalances that could affect your heart rhythm or cause weakness. High potassium levels often indicate kidney issues, while low levels may result from vomiting, diarrhea, or certain medicines.
The eGFR test estimates how efficiently your kidneys are filtering waste from your blood. It’s one of the most important indicators of kidney health. A lower eGFR value suggests reduced kidney function and may require medical follow-up.
