Waste materials and extra fluid are taken out of your blood by your kidneys. Examining the levels of waste products in the blood as well as the levels of electrolytes, which control fluid in the body, can be used to gauge how effectively they are performing their duties.
Early kidney disease signs are usually nonexistent, so it's crucial to keep an eye on kidney function, particularly if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or a close relative who has the condition.
When proteins are broken down in the liver, the body excretes urea as waste. After being created, urea is delivered to the kidneys, where it is removed from the blood and eliminated from the body as urine.
Thus, monitoring urea levels in the blood can provide insight into the health of the liver and kidneys. It is crucial to remember that results may still come back as normal even if one kidney is severely damaged but the other is in perfect working order.
The regular breakdown of muscles produces the chemical waste molecule creatinine. Therefore, athletes are capable of higher levels than the normal person.
Since creatinine is excreted by the kidneys, it can be used to diagnose renal disease and is a reliable indicator of kidney function.
The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), which calculates how much blood is filtered through the kidneys, measures how well the kidneys are functioning.
The kidneys' glomeruli are microscopic filters that remove waste materials. Kidney function may be hampered if these filters do not operate adequately.
Your age, gender, ethnicity, and serum creatinine levels are used to compute your estimated glomerular filtration rate, or eGFR.
The salt content of finger-prick samples is not reported. This is due to the slight possibility of receiving a less favourable outcome.
Sodium is a mineral as well as an electrolyte. It plays a crucial role in controlling the body's water and electrolyte balance, which has an impact on pH and blood pressure. Additionally, it's critical to the way that muscles and nerves work.
The kidneys control the blood's sodium levels.
