Private Kidney Function Test

Our service is more than just a simple blood test. It's a holistic package designed for a complete assessment of your renal and urinary system.

• KUB (Kidney, Ureter, Bladder) Ultrasound: A non-invasive ultrasound scan to provide a detailed view of your kidneys, bladder, and urinary tract. This imaging helps detect issues such as kidney stones, cysts, blockages, or other structural abnormalities.

• Comprehensive Blood Tests: Our extensive blood panel measures key markers of kidney function, including:

  • Urea & Creatinine: Waste products filtered by the kidneys. High levels can indicate a decline in function.

  • eGFR (estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate): A calculation that provides a clear measure of how well your kidneys are filtering blood.

  • Electrolytes: Sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate levels are checked to ensure your body's fluid and mineral balance is correct.

  • Additional Markers: The test also assesses liver function, bone markers, and glucose to provide a broader view of your health.

• Urine Analysis: A detailed analysis of a urine sample screens for signs of infection, protein, or blood, which can be early indicators of kidney damage or disease.

• Private GP Consultation: You will have a dedicated consultation with our general practitioner to discuss your results, review your medical history, and receive a personalised care plan and recommendations.

Why is a Kidney Function Test Important?

Kidney damage can often progress without noticeable symptoms in its early stages. A proactive health check can lead to:

• Early Detection: Identify potential kidney problems before they become serious.

• Peace of Mind: Get clear, accurate answers from a trusted team of professionals.

• Personalised Care: Receive tailored advice on lifestyle changes and follow-up care.

This package is highly recommended if you have risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, a family history of kidney disease, or if you are taking long-term medications that may affect your kidneys.
