Kidney Health blood test
One blood draw, 10 markers. A focused look at how well your kidneys are filtering and balancing your body — so a clinician can help identify or rule out chronic kidney disease and electrolyte problems, which are often silent. £137 · clinician-reviewed results · CQC-regulated.
Your kidneys work quietly — until they don't
Chronic kidney disease affects around 3 million people in the UK and is frequently silent until advanced. A simple blood test can catch problems early. This panel is a sensible step if you recognise any of these.
High blood pressure or diabetes
Both are leading causes of kidney damage and warrant regular monitoring.
Family history of kidney disease
Some kidney conditions run in families and benefit from early checks.
On long-term medication
Some medicines are processed by, or can affect, the kidneys.
Swelling or fluid changes
Puffiness, changes in urination or fluid retention can reflect kidney function.
A general organ-health check
Part of a wider health review or pre-treatment assessment.
Reassurance
A thorough check of kidney function with a clinician's read on the numbers.

10 markers across filtration and balance
The kidneys filter waste and keep your salts, minerals and fluids in balance. This panel measures both jobs at once.
Filtration
Creatinine, eGFR and urea show how effectively your kidneys are clearing waste from the blood.
3 markersElectrolytes
Sodium, potassium and chloride keep your fluids, nerves and muscles working — imbalances can signal kidney issues.
3 markersMinerals
Calcium, phosphate and magnesium are regulated by the kidneys and reflect bone and metabolic health.
3 markersProtein
Albumin gives context on protein status and helps interpret the rest of the panel.

Understanding your Kidney Health results
Each result in your Kidney Health is reviewed by a clinician before release. Below is a plain-English guide to the key markers included in this panel.
Creatinine
Waste product filtered by the kidneys. Rising creatinine indicates declining kidney function.
eGFR (Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate)
Calculated estimate of how much blood the kidneys filter per minute. Below 60 mL/min/1.73m² for 3+ months indicates chronic kidney disease.
Urea
Another waste product from protein breakdown. Elevated urea alongside raised creatinine confirms kidney impairment.
Electrolytes (Sodium & Potassium)
Essential minerals tightly regulated by the kidneys. Abnormal levels can affect heart rhythm and muscle function.
Reference ranges vary between laboratories and are influenced by age, sex, and other individual factors. This information is for educational purposes only and does not replace a clinical consultation. The Vesey reviews every result before it is released to you.
