Overview
Kidneys are vital for the proper functioning of our bodies and they need to be healthy to do so. In some disease conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure, the health of your kidneys is affected. Urine or blood infections can also cause an imbalance in the proper functioning of these organs.
PharmEasy's kidney function test helps to check if there are any such issues associated with your kidneys. The following are the tests included in the kidney function test package:
- Uric Acid
- Urea (Calculated)
- Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN)/Serum Urea
- Creatinine
- Calcium (Ca)
- Urea/Creatinine Ratio
- BUN/Creatinine Ratio
- EGFR
All of the above tests ultimately sum up your glomerular filtration rate, that is, the efficiency with which your kidneys are filtering your blood. The normal levels of all the above-mentioned tests are as follows:
Tests | Reference range |
Uric acid | 2.5 to 6.2 mg/dL |
BUN | 7 to 17 mg/dL |
Creatinine | 0.66 to 1.25 mg/dL |
BUN/Creatinine ratio | 9:1 to 23:1 |
Calcium | 8.4 to 10.2 mg/dL |
If there are any abnormalities in any of the above-mentioned tests, there is a chance that you are suffering from a urine infection, a blood infection or kidney disease. However, it should be noted that conditions like pregnancy, age or certain medications can affect these values.
