eGFR (Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate):
A calculated indicator of kidney function — useful for early detection of chronic kidney disease (CKD)
Electrolyte Balance & Hydration Markers:
-
Sodium:
Helps regulate fluid balance, nerve impulses, and blood pressure -
Potassium:
Essential for proper muscle contraction, heart rhythm, and nerve signalling -
Uric Acid:
A natural waste product — high levels may indicate kidney strain or risk of gout
