Kidney Health

Early signs of kidney disease include fatigue, swelling in the legs or feet, changes in urine color or frequency, nausea, and muscle cramps. Regular kidney function tests help detect problems early.

Kidney function is commonly assessed using blood tests such as Creatinine, BUN, Uric Acid, Sodium, Potassium, and Chloride, which help evaluate how well the kidneys are filtering waste.

A creatinine test measures waste levels in the blood. High creatinine levels may indicate reduced kidney function or kidney disease.

The microalbumin/creatinine ratio test detects small amounts of protein in urine, an early sign of kidney damage—especially important for diabetic and hypertensive patients.

You should consider a kidney function test if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, a family history of kidney disease, swelling, or persistent changes in urination.

A urine routine analysis checks for protein, blood, infections, and other abnormalities that may indicate kidney disease or urinary tract issues.

Yes, an ultrasound scan of the abdomen and pelvis helps detect kidney stones, cysts, blockages, or structural abnormalities without radiation exposure.

In early stages, kidney disease can often be managed with medications, diet changes, fluid control, and regular monitoring—dialysis is usually required only in advanced stages.

Maintaining a balanced diet, controlling blood sugar and blood pressure, staying hydrated, avoiding excessive salt intake, and regular health checkups help protect kidney health.
