Kidney Blood Test Kit

£36.00

Biomarkers (0)

Includes eGFR, creatinine, urea, and sodium to assess kidney function.
    Description

    The Kidney Blood Test is designed to assess kidney function by measuring key markers such as creatinine, urea, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). These indicators help determine how effectively your kidneys are filtering waste products from the blood and maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance.

    Key Features

    • Measures creatinine, urea, and eGFR levels.
    • Helps assess kidney function and waste removal efficiency.
    • Useful for monitoring long-term kidney health.
    • Supports early detection of potential kidney-related concerns.

    Product Information

    Healthy kidneys are essential for filtering toxins, balancing fluids, and regulating minerals in the body. Changes in creatinine, urea, or eGFR can indicate reduced kidney performance, which may be linked to lifestyle factors, underlying medical conditions, or medication effects. This test provides a clear picture of kidney health and can guide further medical evaluation if required.

    Note

    Results should always be reviewed in context with other health indicators and symptoms. Consult a healthcare professional for an accurate interpretation and appropriate next steps.

    What's in the test?

    • Kidney health

      Urea

      Urea is a waste product produced by the body when it breaks down proteins in the liver. Once the urea is made, it is transported to the kidneys, which filter it out of the blood and remove it from the body in the form of urine. Measuring the levels of urea in the blood can therefore reflect how well both the liver and the kidneys, are functioning. It is important to note that even if one kidney is severely damaged but the other is functioning perfectly, results may still return as normal.

      Creatinine

      Creatinine is a chemical waste molecule that is generated from normal muscle metabolism. Measurement of this is an indicator of the levels of other waste products in the body. Creatinine is also an accurate marker of kidney function, and may help in diagnosing kidney disease.

      eGFR

      The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) assesses how well the kidneys are working by estimating the amount of blood filtered through the kidneys. The glomeruli are tiny filters in the kidneys responsible for removing waste products. If these filters do not do their job properly, kidney function can be impaired. The eGFR calculation is an estimate of actual glomerular filtration rate, calculated using your age, gender, ethnicity, and serum creatinine levels.

      Sodium

      Sodium is both an electrolyte and a mineral. It helps to regulate the water and electrolyte balance of the body, and is therefore an important factor in blood pressure and pH. It also plays an important role in the function of nerves and muscles. Sodium levels in the blood are regulated by the kidneys.
