Advanced Renal Package

The advanced renal package provides an ideal test package that covers most of the blood tests needed for essential health monitoring of the kidneys. The symptoms of a disease are often noticeable much after the infection has evolved. In disease conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease, it can take months to notice if they have damaged an individual's kidneys. Such screening tests, if performed annually, help with the timely detection of such kidney diseases. These tests also help in monitoring the treatment of kidney diseases. Finding the problem before it develops is very important to prevent serious damage to the kidneys. The advanced renal package includes some necessary tests for determining the health and functioning of the kidneys. These tests help in determining kidney disorders and diseases. The symptoms of kidney disease are hard to detect. Many of them are similar to other common health problems. There is a probability that the severe signs might not be visible until a person’s kidneys start to fail. This is one of the reasons why only 10% of people with chronic kidney disease know they have it. A doctor also recommends a kidney function test when a patient complains of blood in urine, painful urination, frequent urge to urinate, flank region pain and problems with starting to urinate. The tests included in the advanced renal package are Serum Electrolytes(Na+, k+ and Cl-), BUN/Creatinine Ratio, Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), Calcium (Ca++), Creatine, Uric Acid and Serum Phosphorus (P). Many individuals may be genetically predisposed to certain diseases, such as diabetes and high blood pressure, which can affect their kidneys' functioning. Moreover, many people have a family history of kidney failure. This test will help with the early detection of a disorder or disease. In addition, for a young age group who are health-conscious, the advanced renal package can provide some basic statistics about their kidney function, which can be monitored annually. A sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy eating habits predispose a person to various health issues. The advanced renal package can help identify the symptoms of these unnoticed conditions early on.

This is a screening tool to determine if the kidneys are functioning well, if there is any damage to the kidneys, and how well they remove waste from the body. These tests also help screen for kidney diseases in patients with diabetes and high blood pressure.
