In today’s fast-paced world, staying on top of your health is crucial. One of the essential aspects of monitoring your health involves keeping an eye on the functionality of your kidneys.

Our services, sourced from NABL accredited labs across the nation, ensure accurate and reliable results.<\/p>\n

Why Kidney Function Tests Are Important<\/h2>\n

Kidneys play a vital role in filtering waste and excess fluids from your blood, maintaining a balance of electrolytes, and regulating blood pressure. Regular Kidney Function Tests help detect any issues early on, enabling timely medical intervention to prevent further complications.<\/p>\n

What is a Kidney Function Test (KFT)?<\/h3>\n

A Kidney Function Test evaluates how well your kidneys are performing their job of filtering waste from your blood. The test typically measures various parameters, including:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Serum Creatinine<\/strong>: Measures the level of creatinine in the blood, an indicator of kidney function.<\/li>\n
  2. Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN)<\/strong>: Assesses the amount of nitrogen in the blood that comes from the waste product urea.<\/li>\n
  3. Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)<\/strong>: Estimates how well the kidneys are filtering waste.<\/li>\n
  4. Electrolytes<\/strong>: Includes sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate levels, which are vital for various body functions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The Convenience of Home Sample Collection<\/h2>\n

    At OHA, we understand the importance of convenience and privacy. Our home sample collection service allows you to get tested without the hassle of visiting a diagnostic center. Here’s how it works:<\/p>\n

      Test Descriptions and Their Purposes<\/h2>\n

      1. Serum Creatinine<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      Description<\/strong>: This test measures the amount of creatinine in your blood. Creatinine is a waste product produced by muscles from the breakdown of a compound called creatine. Normally, your kidneys filter creatinine out of your blood. High levels of creatinine in your blood may indicate impaired kidney function.<\/p>\n

      Purpose<\/strong>: To assess kidney function and diagnose kidney disease. It is also used to monitor treatment effectiveness in individuals with kidney disease.<\/p>\n

      2. Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      Description<\/strong>: BUN tests measure the amount of urea nitrogen in your blood. Urea nitrogen is a waste product formed in the liver when protein is metabolized and is filtered out of your blood by the kidneys.<\/p>\n

      Purpose<\/strong>: High levels of BUN may indicate kidney dysfunction, while low levels can suggest liver disease or malnutrition.<\/p>\n

      3. Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      Description<\/strong>: eGFR is a calculation based on your serum creatinine level, age, gender, and body size. It estimates how well your kidneys are filtering blood.<\/p>\n

      Purpose<\/strong>: To detect kidney disease in its early stages and monitor kidney function in individuals with known kidney disease.<\/p>\n

      4. Electrolytes<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      Description<\/strong>: This panel includes tests for sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate. These electrolytes help maintain fluid balance, muscle function, and acid-base balance in the body.<\/p>\n

      Purpose<\/strong>: Abnormal levels can indicate kidney disease, dehydration, heart disease, and other medical conditions.<\/p>\n
