What's included
3 deliverables in this treatment
- Venous blood draw
- Laboratory analysis of urea and electrolytes
- Result report with brief clinician interpretation
The Urea and Electrolytes test checks kidney function by measuring urea and key electrolytes in a venous blood sample. It provides insight into how well the kidneys filter waste and maintain fluid balance. This test is suited for adults with hypertension, diabetes, or those on medications affecting kidney health. Results are typically returned within a few days.
About this treatment
The Urea and Electrolytes panel assesses two primary aspects of renal performance: urea concentration, which reflects waste filtration, and electrolyte levels (such as sodium, potassium, and chloride) that indicate fluid and mineral balance. By measuring these two biomarkers, the test may support the monitoring of kidney function in individuals with hypertension, diabetes, or those taking nephrotoxic drugs. A single venous blood draw is required, with no fasting requirement specified. Results are generally available within 48‑72 hours. The price includes the blood draw, laboratory analysis of urea and the electrolyte panel, and a concise report with a brief clinician overview.
