Kidneys

Your kidneys filter 200 liters of blood daily, removing waste while keeping essential nutrients in balance. Kidney damage develops gradually and silently — by the time symptoms appear, significant function may already be lost. Blood tests detect declining filtration and early stress markers, giving you the chance to protect these vital organs before damage becomes permanent.

Creatinine
x2

Creatinine is a waste product filtered by the kidneys. Testing reveals how well your kidneys are working and helps detect kidney disease early, before symptoms develop.

Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)
x2

eGFR estimates how well your kidneys filter blood. This calculated value is the primary measure for diagnosing and staging chronic kidney disease and guiding medication dosing.

Chloride
x2

Chloride is a major electrolyte that maintains fluid balance and acid-base status. Testing helps evaluate hydration, kidney function, and diagnose metabolic disorders through the anion gap.

Potassium
x2

Potassium is a critical electrolyte for heart rhythm and muscle function. Testing detects dangerous imbalances that can affect your heart, especially in kidney disease or when taking certain medications.

Sodium
x2

Sodium is the key electrolyte controlling fluid balance and blood pressure. Testing detects hyponatremia (too dilute) or hypernatremia (dehydration) that can affect brain function.

Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN)
x2

BUN measures urea, a waste product from protein metabolism filtered by kidneys. Testing helps assess kidney function, hydration status, and detect conditions like GI bleeding through the BUN/creatinine ratio.

BUN / Creatinine Ratio
x2

The BUN/creatinine ratio distinguishes between kidney disease, dehydration, and GI bleeding. A high ratio suggests pre-renal causes; a normal ratio with elevated markers suggests true kidney disease.

Calcium
x2

Calcium blood test evaluates levels essential for bones, muscles, nerves, and heart function. Detect parathyroid disorders, Vitamin D deficiency, and causes of muscle cramps or fatigue.

Albumin, Urine
x2

The earliest warning sign of kidney damage — detecting protein leakage years before kidney function declines.

Cystatin C
Addon

Cystatin C is an alternative kidney marker not affected by muscle mass. Testing provides more accurate kidney function assessment in elderly, muscular, or malnourished individuals where creatinine may be misleading.
