⚡ Why Are These Markers Important?

🫘 Urea and Creatinine are waste products that help assess how well the kidneys are filtering the blood.

📊 eGFR estimates kidney filtration rate and is one of the key markers used to assess kidney function.

💧 Sodium, Potassium, Chloride and Bicarbonate are electrolytes that help maintain fluid balance, nerve function, muscle function and acid-base balance.

💡 Together, these markers provide a focused overview of kidney function, hydration status and electrolyte balance.

The Advanced Kidney / Renal Function Blood Test is a focused test looking specifically at kidney function and electrolytes.

This test focuses on:
