Comprehensive kidney health assessment with creatinine, eGFR, urine analysis, and kidney ultrasound.
Kidney function testing measures how effectively your kidneys are filtering waste, maintaining fluid balance, and regulating electrolytes. Key markers include creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride). Early kidney disease is often silent — most people lose significant kidney function before experiencing any symptoms. Regular monitoring is especially important for people with diabetes, hypertension, or a family history of kidney disease, as early intervention can significantly slow progression.
