What Is a Kidney Function Test?

A kidney function test is a group of blood tests used to assess how well your kidneys are working. Your kidneys help remove waste products from the blood, regulate fluids, balance electrolytes, and support healthy blood pressure.

Many kidney conditions develop gradually and may not cause noticeable symptoms early. Regular testing helps detect kidney problems early, when treatment is most effective.

What Our Kidney Function Test Includes

Serum Creatinine

Measures how effectively your kidneys are filtering waste from your blood.

Blood Urea (BUN)

Assesses how well your body removes nitrogenous waste.

Electrolytes

Checks sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate levels essential for heart, nerve, and muscle function.

Who Should Get a Kidney Function Test?

  • People with high blood pressure or diabetes
  • Individuals with swelling of the legs, face, or body
  • People experiencing changes in urine frequency or appearance
  • Those with persistent fatigue, nausea, or weakness
  • Anyone undergoing routine health screening

How the Test Is Done

  1. A small blood sample is taken from a vein in your arm.
  2. The sample is processed in our laboratory.
  3. Results are reviewed by trained healthcare professionals.
  4. You receive explanations and medical guidance where necessary.

The procedure is quick, safe, and usually completed within a few minutes.
