What parameters are tested in Kidney Test?
Creatinine
Measure creatinine levels to assess kidney function. Creatinine is a waste product produced by muscles that the kidneys filter out of the blood. Elevated levels may indicate impaired kidney function.
Potassium
Evaluate potassium levels, a crucial electrolyte regulated by the kidneys. Proper potassium balance is essential for maintaining heart and muscle function.
Sodium
Assess sodium levels, another important electrolyte regulated by the kidneys. Sodium balance is vital for maintaining blood pressure and overall fluid balance.
Urea
Measure urea levels to evaluate the efficiency of waste product removal by the kidneys. Urea is a by-product of protein metabolism, and elevated levels may indicate kidney dysfunction.

A Renal Function Blood Test assesses the health of your kidneys by measuring key parameters such as Creatinine, Potassium, Sodium, and Urea.
Yes, the test is designed to detect early signs of kidney dysfunction by assessing levels of creatinine, potassium, sodium, and urea.
Creatinine is a waste product from muscle activity. Elevated levels may indicate kidney dysfunction as the kidneys are responsible for filtering and excreting it.
Sodium plays a role in maintaining fluid balance. Monitoring sodium levels helps assess kidney function, as kidneys help regulate sodium balance.
Urea is a waste product from protein breakdown. Elevated levels may suggest kidney problems as healthy kidneys filter and excrete urea efficiently.
Potassium levels are vital for proper muscle and nerve function. Abnormal levels may suggest kidney issues, impacting potassium regulation.
Stay hydrated, maintain a balanced diet, limit sodium intake, and avoid excessive alcohol consumption. Regular exercise can also promote overall kidney health.
