A kidney function test is crucial for assessing the health and performance of your kidneys. You may need this test if you experience symptoms like swelling, fatigue, or changes in urination, as these could indicate kidney problems. It's also important for individuals with chronic conditions such as diabetes or hypertension, as well as those taking medications that might affect kidney function. Regular monitoring through kidney function tests can help detect issues early and guide effective treatment plans.
At RML Pathology, the following kidney function tests are provided:
- Serum Creatinine: Evaluates kidney function by measuring creatinine levels in the blood.
- Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN): Assesses how well your kidneys are filtering urea nitrogen from your blood.
- Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR): Provides an estimate of your kidney's filtering capacity.
- Urine Protein: Detects protein in the urine, which can signal kidney damage.
- Electrolytes: Measures levels of sodium, potassium, and chloride, which are essential for kidney health.
