Description
What is Kidney Function Blood Test?
The kidneys are two small secondary organs that produce urine. Which in turn are responsible for filtering toxins from the blood and achieving a balance of water, ions and pH.
Why you should get tested?
Kidney pain can be caused by a variety of causes and sometimes can be confused with back pain. When the kidneys are affected for various reasons, they no longer have the ability to maintain a balance between salts, minerals, calcium and water in the blood.
There are several risk groups for kidney pain and disease:
- If you have diabetes.
- High Blood Pressure.
- Family history of kidney disease.
- If you use prohibited substances.
Instructions for use
Please take your sample in the morning. We advise that you use this at least one hour before any medication.
