4 deliverables in this treatment
- Kidney function: creatinine, urea, uric acid (enables GFR calculation)
- Electrolyte panel: sodium, potassium, chlorides, calcium, inorganic phosphorus
- Urinalysis with full microscopic sediment examination
- Written physician commentary on all results
A combined liver and kidney function panel at MEDILA measuring renal clearance markers (creatinine, urea, uric acid), key electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chlorides, calcium, phosphorus), and urinalysis with sediment. Together these markers assess kidney filtration capacity, electrolyte balance, and urinary tract health in a single morning draw. Creatinine is the primary kidney biomarker for estimating GFR (glomerular filtration rate); urea reflects protein metabolism and kidney excretion; uric acid is the gout marker and an independent cardiovascular risk factor. The electrolyte panel adds cardiac and neuromuscular stability markers. Urinalysis with sediment detects protein, glucose, blood, and cellular casts in the urine — providing early warning signs of kidney inflammation, infection, and diabetic nephropathy. Written physician commentary included. Results within one week.
About this treatment
The Jaterní a ledvinové testy (Liver and Kidney Tests) panel at MEDILA combines kidney function biomarkers, a five-marker electrolyte panel, and urinalysis with sediment into a single morning blood and urine draw — providing a comprehensive assessment of renal health and electrolyte homeostasis.
Kidney function markers: Creatinine is a waste product of creatine phosphate breakdown in muscle tissue, filtered entirely by the kidneys and not reabsorbed. A rising creatinine level indicates declining kidney filtration capacity; from the creatinine value, GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is estimated using the CKD-EPI formula with age and sex, providing the standard clinical measure of kidney function. GFR above 90 ml/min/1.73m² is normal; 60–89…
Urea (blood urea nitrogen equivalent) reflects protein catabolism and kidney excretion. It rises in dehydration, high-protein diet, and kidney impairment. The creatinine:urea ratio helps distinguish pre-renal azotaemia (dehydration, heart failure — urea rises disproportionately to creatinine) from intrinsic renal disease (both rise proportionally). Uric acid is the end product of purine metabolism. Elevated uric acid (hyperuricaemia) is the direct cause…

Panel categories
Biomarkers tested
5The most abundant mineral in the body, essential for bone health, muscle contraction, nerve function, and blood clotting. Blood calcium is tightly regulated by parathyroid hormone and vitamin D. Abnormal levels can indicate parathyroid disorders.
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 critical electrolyte for heart rhythm, muscle contractions, and nerve function. Both high and low potassium can cause dangerous cardiac arrhythmias. Levels are influenced by kidney function, medications, and diet.
The primary electrolyte regulating fluid balance and blood pressure. Sodium is essential for nerve impulses and muscle contractions. Abnormal levels can cause confusion, seizures, and cardiac arrhythmias.
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.
