Kidney health test details
Kidney health checks include a range of tests and tests that help assess kidney function and detect any health problems. These tests include:
Complete urine analysis:
A urine kidney test detects the presence of proteins, blood, cells, and chemicals that may indicate kidney problems.
Creatinine analysis in blood and urine:
Creatinine analysis measures the presence of creatinine in the blood and urine to see the kidneys' ability to purify and eliminate creatinine in the blood through the urine. High blood creatinine indicates a problem with kidney function. The kidneys work to eliminate creatinine in the urine and do not reabsorb it. Because creatinine is the waste products that are produced in the body during the natural muscle regeneration process.
Blood urea nitrogen analysis:
Blood urea analysis is one of the most important kidney tests, as this analysis measures the percentage of urea nitrogen in the blood. It evaluates kidney function by determining how well the kidneys are getting rid of waste products and toxins.
Glomerular filtration rate analysis:
It measures the efficiency of the kidneys in filtering waste products, providing an accurate estimate of the amount of blood filtered by the kidneys every minute, aiding in the early detection of any deterioration in kidney function, and contributing to the identification of stages of kidney failure.
Blood uric acid analysis:
Measurement of the level of uric acid in the blood as high levels of uric acid in the blood are the result of poor kidney function in eliminating it, indicating a disorder in kidney health.
Albumin Analysis:
Albumin testing is one of the most important urine tests in kidney health tests, where the level of albumin in the urine is measured, and a high level of albumin in the urine indicates the presence of kidney problems such as kidney inflammation or kidney failure.
Blood salt tests:
Analyzing the level of certain elements in the blood, such as analyzing sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate, to make sure that the body's fluid balance is stable, as changes in the levels of these minerals indicate problems with kidney function, such as their ability to eliminate waste products and regulate fluid levels.
Therefore, it is necessary to periodically follow up individuals with kidney problems to follow up on the developments of the condition and prompt therapeutic intervention to reach the normal rate of kidney function.

2-Urine sample: The patient is asked to collect a urine sample in a sterile container, and it is possible to prepare the sample in the medical laboratory or at home.
3. Sample analysis by specialized technicians in the laboratory using the latest advanced technologies.
4. Discussion of the results: The results are discussed in detail to clarify what they mean compared to normal kidney function and what are the next steps based on the results.
It's important to tell your doctor about any medications you're taking, as some medications can affect results.
