Kidney Health

BUN/Creatinine Ratio
Compares two key waste markers to assess kidney function and hydration status. Abnormal values can indicate dehydration, kidney disease, or liver problems.

Calcium
Essential for bone strength, muscle contraction, and nerve signaling. Kidney dysfunction can disrupt calcium balance.

Potassium
A critical electrolyte for heart rhythm and muscle function. Both high and low levels can be life-threatening.

Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Reflects acid–base balance in the blood. Abnormal values may suggest kidney or lung disorders affecting pH regulation.

Creatinine
A waste product filtered by the kidneys. Elevated levels often point to impaired kidney function.

Chloride
An electrolyte that helps maintain fluid balance and acid–base stability. Abnormal levels may indicate kidney or metabolic disorders.

Sodium
Key electrolyte for fluid balance, nerve signaling, and blood pressure control. Abnormal values often reflect kidney or adrenal dysfunction.

Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)
Calculates how efficiently the kidneys filter blood. A primary marker of kidney function and chronic kidney disease staging.

Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN)
Measures nitrogen from protein breakdown. Elevated levels can suggest impaired kidney function, dehydration, or high protein intake.
