Kidney Function Test (Urea, Creatinine, eGFR)

The Urea/Creatinine/eGFR Test is a key blood test used to assess kidney function and overall renal health. This profile includes the following markers:

• Urea – measures the amount of urea in the blood, a waste product from protein breakdown.
• Creatinine – measures the level of creatinine, a waste product from muscle metabolism, in the blood.
• Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) – calculates how well the kidneys are filtering waste from the blood.

This test is essential for diagnosing and monitoring kidney function, detecting conditions such as chronic kidney disease (CKD), and evaluating the effectiveness of treatments for kidney-related issues.
