Kidney
Tests that look at kidney function
Kidney
Kidney function tests measure waste products and salts in the blood, and a urine test can show what the kidneys pass out. Doctors may also check uric acid. These tests don't diagnose anything on their own, and this isn't a recommendation to take any of them — a doctor decides which are relevant for you.
Kidney Function Test (KFT)
A group of tests used to evaluate how well the kidneys are working.
Urine Routine (Urinalysis)
A test of your urine.
Electrolytes
A blood test, often called an electrolyte panel, that measures minerals that help balance water and acid–base levels in your body.
Uric Acid Test
A test that measures uric acid — a waste product the body makes when it breaks down chemicals called purines — in a sample of blood (or urine).
Speak with your doctor
Swelling of the legs or face, changes in urination or blood in the urine are worth discussing with a doctor.
