What This Test Measures
The test includes a blood panel to measure kidney function markers such as creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). It also analyzes urine for substances like protein, red blood cells, white blood cells, and crystals that may indicate kidney or urinary tract problems. Some tests may be performed to detect specific substances or conditions, such as kidney stones or infections.
Blood Test Components
Blood samples are drawn to assess kidney function. Key measurements may include indicators of how well your kidneys filter waste products from your blood, such as creatinine and BUN levels. These tests help identify kidney damage or disease early.
Urine Test Components
Urine samples are collected to check for the presence of abnormal substances like blood, protein, or crystals. These findings can help determine if there are urinary tract infections, kidney stones, or other urinary system issues.
Why This Test Might Be Ordered
Your healthcare provider may order this test if you have symptoms like pain in your back or side, frequent urination, blood in urine, or signs of kidney disease. It may also be part of routine check-ups for high-risk individuals or those with chronic conditions like diabetes or hypertension.
Clinical interpretation
How abnormal results are interpreted and what conditions they suggest.
