Kidney Function Test
Check Your Filtration Health, Protect Your Vital Organs
Your kidneys work around the clock to filter waste, regulate blood pressure, and maintain your body’s delicate fluid and electrolyte balance. The Kidney Function Test is a simple at-home blood test that measures key markers of kidney performance — helping you identify how well your kidneys are working and whether early signs of dysfunction may be present.
Whether you're managing a chronic condition, concerned about high blood pressure or diabetes, or simply taking a proactive approach to your health, this test provides crucial insight into your body’s internal waste filtration system.
What You'll Discover
This test evaluates three key indicators of kidney function: urea, creatinine, and your estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR). Urea is a waste product formed from the breakdown of proteins and is typically filtered out by the kidneys. Elevated levels may suggest reduced kidney efficiency. Creatinine, another waste compound, is a byproduct of muscle metabolism and serves as a strong indicator of how well your kidneys are filtering your blood.
The eGFR is a calculated value that reflects how efficiently your kidneys are functioning based on your creatinine levels, age, sex, and other factors. It's one of the most reliable tools for detecting early stages of kidney impairment — even before symptoms appear.
Why Take This Test?
Kidney disease can progress silently, with no noticeable symptoms until it reaches a more advanced stage. Testing your kidney function can help catch potential issues early, enabling you to take steps to protect your health. This test is especially important if you have high blood pressure, diabetes, a family history of kidney disease, or are taking medications that may affect your kidneys.
It’s also a valuable monitoring tool for those already managing kidney-related health conditions, offering a clear picture of whether kidney function is stable, improving, or declining.
