Kidney function panel with creatinine (including eGFR calculation), urea, uric acid, electrolytes, and urinalysis. At 170 PLN (~€39), a comprehensive renal assessment covering both blood and urine markers.
This panel provides a thorough assessment of kidney function through both serum and urine markers. Creatinine with eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) is the primary screening tool for chronic kidney disease — eGFR below 60 mL/min/1.73m² sustained for 3+ months defines CKD stage 3. Urea (blood urea nitrogen) rises with reduced kidney filtration but is also influenced by dietary protein intake and hydration status, making it a useful but less specific marker than creatinine. Uric acid elevation indicates either overproduction or underexcretion — relevant for gout risk and as an independent cardiovascular risk factor. Electrolyte balance (sodium, potassium) is directly regulated by kidney function. Potassium dysregulation is particularly dangerous as it affects cardiac rhythm. Calcium and phosphorus metabolism is also kidney-dependent, with chronic kidney disease causing secondary hyperparathyroidism and bone mineral loss. The urinalysis component detects proteinuria (protein in urine) — an early marker of kidney damage that often precedes changes in creatinine. Microalbuminuria in diabetic patients is a critical screening target as it identifies nephropathy at a reversible stage. Individual components: creatinine + eGFR 23 PLN, urea 22 PLN, uric acid 22 PLN, electrolytes 34–49 PLN, urinalysis 25 PLN.

Panel Categories
Biomarkers Tested
8The most abundant protein in blood, produced by the liver. Albumin maintains blood volume and pressure, and transports hormones, vitamins, and drugs. Low levels indicate liver disease, kidney disease, malnutrition, or chronic inflammation.
A waste product from normal muscle metabolism, filtered by the kidneys. Blood creatinine levels reflect kidney filtration capacity. Elevated levels may indicate impaired kidney function, dehydration, or excessive muscle breakdown.
A protein produced by all nucleated cells at a constant rate, filtered by the kidneys. Cystatin C is a more accurate marker of kidney function than creatinine because it's less affected by muscle mass, age, and diet.
An estimated measure of how well your kidneys filter waste from the blood. It's calculated from creatinine levels, age, sex, and race. eGFR is the primary marker used to stage chronic kidney disease.
A metal found in canned foods, solder, and industrial materials. While small amounts of inorganic tin are relatively non-toxic, high levels can cause gastrointestinal irritation. Organotin compounds are more toxic and affect the immune and nervous systems.
A waste product from protein breakdown, processed by the liver and excreted by the kidneys. Elevated urea levels can indicate kidney dysfunction, dehydration, high-protein diet, or gastrointestinal bleeding.
A waste product from the breakdown of purines (found in certain foods and body cells). High levels can form crystals in joints (gout) or kidneys (kidney stones). Also associated with cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome.
