Kidney Health Blood Test

About this test
The kidneys filter approximately 180 litres of blood daily, removing waste products, regulating fluid balance, controlling blood pressure, and maintaining electrolyte homeostasis. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects approximately 3 million people in the UK and is frequently asymptomatic until advanced stages. Early detection through kidney function markers allows intervention to slow progression and prevent complications including cardiovascular disease and end-stage renal failure.
Note: Measures creatinine, eGFR, urea, uric acid, electrolytes (sodium, potassium, bicarbonate, chloride), calcium, phosphate, and albumin.
What this test can detect
- Chronic kidney disease — reduced eGFR indicating impaired filtration capacity
- Acute kidney injury — sudden deterioration in renal function requiring urgent assessment
- Electrolyte imbalances — abnormal sodium, potassium, bicarbonate, or chloride
- Renal tubular dysfunction — abnormal phosphate or calcium handling
- Hyperuricaemia — elevated urate associated with gout and renal disease
Who should have this test?
- Individuals with hypertension, diabetes, or cardiovascular disease — the most common causes of CKD
- Anyone on nephrotoxic medications including NSAIDs, certain antibiotics, or contrast agents
- Those with a family history of kidney disease or polycystic kidney disease
- Anyone with symptoms of kidney disease — swelling, reduced urine output, or foamy urine
- Individuals over 60, in whom kidney function naturally declines
