Want to know how well your kidneys are functioning?
Your kidneys are responsible for keeping your body and your blood healthy by removing waste from the blood, balancing your fluids, regulating your blood pressure and many other roles which help to maintain overall homeostasis.
Whats Included?
A Kidney Function test investigates 6 markers which provide an insight into how well the kidneys are functioning. This test also allows you to monitor important electrolytes, Sodium and Chloride, which help to regulate your body fluids and have other important functions in the body.
Electrolytes
A kidney function test will tell you lots about your electrolytes - important chemicals that regulate your hydration, blood pressure, blood acidity, nerve and muscle function, and nearly all chemical reactions in the body. Electrolytes are also essential minerals the body needs before, during and after exercise to maintain homeostasis, and maximise your workout.
Fluid Balance
Your kidneys are responsible for regulating fluid balance, and removing harmful toxins or excess fluid from the blood by producing urine. Fluid retention, high blood pressure, headaches and swelling in your hands, feet or other areas of the body are all possible signs of reduced kidney function.
