With this service you will receive a home finger prick test. A comprehensive analysis of your kidney and associated organs to investigate its health and whether it is functioning at optimal levels.
The main test for kidney disease is a blood test.
Our kidney tracker analyses the levels of key analytes related to kidney function which include creatinine, urea and estimated glomeruli filtration rate.
The test measures the levels of a waste product called creatinine in your blood.
The kidneys are one of the most important organs in the body due to their role in filtering the blood and safely removing waste products from the body by producing urine.
Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN): Urea nitrogen is a normal waste product in your blood that comes from the breakdown of protein from the foods you eat and from your body metabolism. It is normally removed from your blood by your kidneys, but when kidney function slows down, the BUN level rises. BUN can also rise if you eat more protein, and it can fall if you eat less protein.
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) - one of the most common blood tests to check for chronic kidney disease. It tells how well your kidneys are filtering. Creatinine blood and urine tests - check the levels of creatinine, a waste product that your kidneys remove from your blood.
Included in this test at no extra cost are liver function, iron status, cholesterol status and gout risk.
This will give you a good picture of how these organs are functioning.
