This simple yet essential package evaluates how well your kidneys are functioning by checking their ability to filter waste and balance key nutrients. It’s ideal for monitoring kidney health or identifying early signs of kidney problems.

U/E (Urea and Electrolytes)
Includes tests for urea, sodium, potassium, and creatinine to assess kidney function.

• High: Suggests reduced kidney function or dehydration.

• Low: May indicate overhydration or certain hormonal imbalances.

The tests included in the "Kidney Health" package are:

Renal Function Tests

• Urea: A waste product formed from the breakdown of proteins and cleared by the kidneys. Elevated levels in the blood may suggest impaired kidney function or a high protein diet.

• Creatinine: A waste product generated from muscle metabolism. It is a reliable indicator of kidney function because it is filtered almost exclusively by the kidneys. Higher than normal levels can indicate reduced kidney function.

• Sodium: An essential electrolyte that helps regulate water balance in and around cells, blood pressure, and is essential for nerve and muscle function. Abnormal levels can be a sign of various conditions, including kidney disease, and can cause significant symptoms.

• Potassium: Another vital electrolyte crucial for cell function, heart rhythm stability, and nerve impulses. The kidneys help regulate potassium levels, and abnormalities can have serious health implications, including the risk of heart problems.
