About Kidney Function Test

Your kidneys play a vital role in maintaining your overall health — from filtering waste and excess fluids to balancing electrolytes and supporting blood pressure regulation. The Kidney Function Test at Total Health Medical Centre is a simple but powerful tool that helps assess how well your kidneys are working, even before symptoms of kidney problems appear.

This test is recommended for individuals with conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, a family history of kidney disease, or as part of a routine health check-up.

What Does the Kidney Function Test Measure?

Our Kidney Function Test includes key blood markers that provide insight into how effectively your kidneys are functioning:

• Creatinine – A waste product filtered by the kidneys. Elevated levels may suggest impaired kidney function.

• Urea (BUN) – Measures nitrogen waste in your blood. High levels may indicate kidney stress or dehydration.

• Glucose – While primarily used to assess blood sugar, high glucose levels can damage kidney tissue over time and are crucial in diabetes management.

• Uric Acid – High levels can point to kidney issues, gout, or difficulty processing waste properly.

These markers together give a broad picture of kidney performance and may help detect early signs of kidney dysfunction.
