What does it detect?

The kidney function profile blood test is about two small secondary organs that produce urine. These are responsible for filtering toxins in a kidney blood test and achieving a balance of water, ions and pH.

Why should you get one?

Various causes can cause kidney pain and sometimes be confused with back pain. When the kidneys are affected for various reasons, they can no longer balance salts, minerals, calcium and water in the blood.

However, please note several risk groups for kidney pain and disease. And should seriously consider taking a Kidney test near me:

If you have diabetes.

High Blood Pressure.
Family history of kidney disease.
If you use prohibited substances.

5 BioMarkers

Urea: gauges how well your kidneys are functioning.
Creatinine: determines malfunction or failure of your kidneys.
Phosphate: Is essential for producing energy, muscles, nerve function and bone growth. Measures the amount of phosphate in your blood.
Albumin: measures the amount of protein in the transparent liquid portion of the blood.
Bicarbonate: healthy kidneys help keep your bicarbonate levels in balance. Measures the amount of bicarbonate in your blood.

How does it work?

Please make your booking, make a function appointment online and visit us onsite to have your blood drawn by our Registered Nurse. Please note that you must present your ID for your appointment.

How long will it take to get my results?

The target turnaround time for Kidney function Profile blood test results is one working day. The turnaround time is a guide only and sometimes depends on assay run schedules.

Please make your Kidney function test near me options appointment online. Then, visit us onsite at the clinic to have your blood drawn by our Registered Clinician. Please note that you must present your ID for your appointment.

What are the Common Questions?

Q: What is the importance of these organs?

- A: Because they have several attributes: filtering and removing the waste products from the blood, removing extra water from the body, producing hormones that help control your body, and adjusting the levels of minerals and chemicals in your body.
Q: What can I do to protect them?
- A: There are a few things you can do for protection/prevention: have a healthy diet, control your blood sugar, monitor your blood pressure, drink plenty of water, quit smoking, be aware of the medicines you take and have a test at least once per year.
Q: What checks are done?
- A: Blood tests for Urea, Creatinine, Phosphate, Albumin and Bicarbonate.
Q: How can Diabetes be related?
- A: Being the most common cause of CKD, Diabetes can affect. Also, having high blood sugar levels can damage the blood vessels and affect the filtering ability.
Q: How can high-pressure control be related?
- A: It damages the blood vessels and reduces the amount of blood supply to the organs.
Q: How can diet affect you?
- A: A healthy diet and lifestyle can reduce the workload and prevent or delay the progression of the disease.
Q: What does it measure?
- A: The test measures many minerals, electrolytes, proteins and sugar levels.

What is the Scientific Data from Instrument and Reagent Supplier?

Technology Method:

Fully automatic biochemistry analyser

Limit of Detection:

Urea: 0.9 mmol/L
Creatinine: 22 umol/L
Phosphate: 1 mmol/L
Bicarbonate: 0.749 mmol/L
Albumin: 10 g/L

Accuracy and Precision:

Urea: The approximate error is < ± 10%. The within-assay CV is ≤ 5%. The between-assay CV is ≤ 5%.
Creatinine: The approximate error is < ± 15%. The within-assay CV is ≤ 3.62%. The between-assay CV is ≤ 4.12%.
Phosphate: The approximate error is < ± 10%. The within-assay CV is ≤ 5%. The between-assay CV is ≤ 10%.
Bicarbonate: The within-assay CV is ≤ 3.93%. The total precision is ≤ 7.86%.
Albumin: The approximate error is < ± 4%. The within-assay CV is ≤ 3%. The between-assay CV is ≤ 5%.

Measuring Ranges:

Urea: 0.9~35.7 mmol/L
Creatinine: 22~3000 umol/L
Phosphate: 0~4.0 mmol/L
Bicarbonate: 0.749~47.1 mmol/L
Albumin: 10~60 g/L

Validation-Active Information:

EQA: Yes
Inter-laboratory validations
- Periodic according to the validation schedule
- Event-triggered- Qc/Calibration/New materials/Batch

Accuracy and Precision:

The accuracy relies on the approximate error percentage. This percentage is the percentage deviation from the actual result. The precision relies on the within-assay coefficient of variations and the between-assay coefficient. The within-assay coefficient of variations is the variance of the result value if the same test was analysed again. The between assay coefficient is the variance of the result value if the same sample was reprocessed from the beginning again.

In range results:

Urea: 2.9~8.2 mmol/L

Creatinine:

Females: 35~80 umol/L
Males: 44~97 umol/L

Phosphate: 0.81~1.45 mmol/L

Bicarbonate:

Arterial: 21~28 mmol/L
Venous: 22~29 mmol/L

Albumin: 34~48 g/L
