- What we measure: The Sodium, Potassium, Urea and Creatinine.
- Support ongoing health conditions – If you have diabetes or high blood pressure, regular monitoring helps protect your kidneys.
- Ensure medication safety – Some medications can affect kidney function. Testing ensures your kidneys are handling treatment well.
- Identify possible concerns – If you’re experiencing swelling, fatigue, or changes in urination, a test can help find the cause.
