DIAG’s Kidney function tests involve blood and urine tests designed to evaluate the efficiency of kidney function and detect any kidney-related diseases. Common kidney function tests include measuring creatinine concentrations in blood, electrolyte tests and urine analysis.

Regular kidney function testing aids in the early detection of issues such as chronic kidney disease, acute kidney failure and other diseases affecting the kidneys. This aids in preventing serious complications and maintaining overall health.

- Basic Panel supports routine kidney health screening and overall assessment of renal filtration capacity at an economical cost, suitable for all individuals.

- Advanced Panel is the preferred choice for comprehensive evaluation of kidney function and metabolic capacity while assisting in assessing endocrine disorders related to renal health.

Creatinine [Serum]

Creatinine is a waste product your muscles produce as part of everyday activities. Normally, your kidneys filter creatinine from your blood and send it out of the body in your urine. If there is a kidney problem, creatinine can build up in the blood, and less will be released in urine.

Urea

Urea nitrogen is the chief nitrogenous end product of the metabolic breakdown of proteins in your body. It is a waste product that your kidneys remove from your blood. A higher urea level than normal may indicate a kidney problem

Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)

eGFR estimates the amount of blood that passes through the glomeruli each minute, helping to assess kidney function.

Urinalysis (Urine Chemistry)

Evaluates general health status through analyzing urine indicators, thereby identifying the origins of diseases.

Urine Sediment

A semi-quantitative urine test used to measure and calculate indicators such as erythrocytes, platelets, leukocytes, urinary casts, etc. This test is important in diagnosing and monitoring kidney diseases, especially nephrotic syndrome.

Electrolytes Panel (Na + K + Cl) [Serum]

Electrolytes are minerals that help control fluid levels and the balance of acids and bases in the body. Electrolyte testing includes: Natri (Na): helps control the amount of fluid in the body, ensuring the functioning of nerves and muscles. Clorua (Cl): also helps control the amount of fluid in the body, regulates blood volume and blood pressure. Kali (K): ensures normal functioning of the heart and muscles.

Calcium (Ca) [Serum]

Calcium is an essential mineral for forming and maintaining healthy teeth and bones. It helps your muscles send messages through the nervous system, and blood vessels contract, expand, and secrete hormones and enzymes. A long-term calcium deficiency can lead to dental changes, nerve malfunction, and brittle bones.

Phosphorus (P) [Serum]

Plays a primary role in the formation of bones and teeth. Phosphorus deficiency can cause bone diseases. An imbalance between phosphorus and calcium can lead to osteoporosis.

intact Parathyroid hormone (iPTH)

A test that helps diagnose hyperparathyroidism (overproduction of PTH), hypoparathyroidism (underproduction of PTH), monitor kidney disease patients, and determine if elevated blood calcium levels are related to the parathyroid gland.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What additional panels should be performed to properly assess my current health status?

- Liver: Suitable for individuals requiring broader metabolic evaluation, as liver function may be affected due to compensatory overwork supporting kidney function.

- Heart: Recommended for individuals with personal or family history of cardiovascular disease to detect cardiac conditions affecting renal health.

- Diabetes: Essential for type 2 diabetes individuals to assess the risk of diabetic nephropathy and related complications.

- Wellness Checkup: Suitable for individuals requiring assessment of the overall impact of kidney health on systemic well-being and detecting potential renal risks.

2. What should be prepared before a kidney function test?

No special preparation is required. Customers can eat and engage in normal activities before taking a sample test.

3. What diseases can a kidney function test detect?

Kidney function tests can identify renal dysfunction through indicators such as Creatinine and Urea concentrations. This assists in diagnosing serious conditions like kidney stones, ureteral stones, glomerulonephritis and tubulointerstitial nephritis. Additionally, the test can detect other diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, systemic lupus erythematosus, etc.

4. Do children need kidney function tests?

Yes, it is very necessary. Children require kidney function tests to detect serious conditions such as acute kidney failure, chronic kidney failure and hydronephrosis. Signs that indicate a child needs a kidney test typically include painful urination, burning sensation during urination, urinary incontinence, dark-colored urine or blood in the urine, etc.

5. Is kidney test included in the DIAG Wellness Checkup Panel at DIAG?

Yes. Customers will receive kidney function tests when registering for the DIAG Wellness Checkup Panel including Uric Acid, Creatinine, estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR), Urea and urinalysis.

6. Should kidney tests be performed regularly?

Yes. This is an important group of tests that everyone should undergo, even in the absence of symptoms. Health experts recommend performing a kidney function test every six months.

7. What are the early signs of kidney disease?

Early signs of kidney disease include fatigue, trouble sleeping, dry and itchy skin, frequent urination, blood in urine, foamy urine, and swelling in the hands and feet.

8. What causes elevated creatinine levels?

Elevated creatinine levels can be caused by kidney dysfunction, dehydration, high protein intake, intense exercise and certain medications.
