Kidney Function Test - Phlebotomy Blood Testing Kit

The test measures various parameters such as creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). These parameters help in evaluating the filtration rate and waste removal, in the kidneys.

You may have this test for several reasons, including:

Monitoring kidney health: Individuals with pre-existing kidney conditions or those at risk of developing kidney disease may undergo this test regularly to monitor the functioning of their kidneys.

Diagnosing kidney disease: The test can help in diagnosing various kidney disorders such as chronic kidney disease, acute kidney injury, or kidney infections.

Evaluating medication effects: Certain medications can have adverse effects on kidney function. Regular kidney function tests can help monitor the impact of these medications on the kidneys.

Assessing overall health: Kidney function tests are often included as a part of routine health check-ups to assess overall kidney health and detect any potential issues early on.

Preparing for surgery: Before undergoing certain surgical procedures, especially those involving anesthesia or medications that can affect kidney function, a kidney function test may be performed to ensure the kidneys are functioning properly.
