Private Kidney Function Blood Test in London

Kidney function tests are urine or blood tests that check how well your kidneys are working. Most of these tests measure the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which shows how efficiently your kidneys remove waste from your body.

If you are worried about your kidney health and experiencing specific symptoms, then a Kidney Function Blood Test is for you! It diagnoses kidney conditions in the early stages, ensuring the proper functioning of your kidneys. By detecting any emerging issues early on, managing ongoing treatment, and identifying kidney diseases, it guides you towards effective treatment in a timely manner.

What are the symptoms of kidney disease?

Kidney problems, whether in the initial or advanced stages, can present a range of symptoms, including high blood pressure, confusion, shortness of breath, nausea, fatigue, swelling in the ankles and legs, and changes in urination frequency and urine colour.

Kidney Function Blood Test Involved

What does a Kidney Function Blood Test in London involve?

  • Creatinine: This checks the creatinine level to determine the functional ability of the kidneys. The normal range of creatinine is 0.84-1.21 milligrams per decilitre (mg/dL), and a spike in this range indicates impaired kidney function.
  • Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR): This analyses the blood filtering ability of the kidneys, with the normal range being 90-120 millilitres per minute (mL/min). A lower-than-normal range is a clear indication of chronic kidney disease or kidney damage.
  • Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN): This measures the level of nitrogen in the blood, which is excreted as a waste product from urea. The healthy range is 7-20 mg/dL, and levels higher than this may indicate dehydration or kidney dysfunction.
  • Electrolytes (Sodium, Potassium): This measures the balance of electrolytes, which can be easily affected by kidney function. The healthy range for sodium is 135-145 milliequivalents per litre (mEq/L) and for potassium, it is 3.5-5.0 mEq/L. Unusual levels may indicate kidney dysfunction or an electrolyte imbalance.

Additional Tests

  • Urinalysis: This analyses urine to detect the presence of unusual components, such as protein, which may indicate kidney disease.
  • Microalbuminuria: This looks for traces of albumin in the urine, an early sign of kidney damage.
