What’s tested?
Kidney Function Markers:
-
Urea:
A waste product of protein breakdown — elevated levels may suggest dehydration or reduced kidney clearance -
Creatinine:
A key marker of kidney filtration efficiency — used to evaluate how well the kidneys are removing waste -
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
Sample collection method
A venous blood sample is collected by a qualified nurse during a home or clinic visit — no need for self-collection or postal kits.
