A Kidney Health Blood Test service is a medical assessment that involves analysing and monitoring an individual’s blood to measure various markers related to kidney function and overall renal health. This service is essential for diagnosing and monitoring kidney conditions, as well as evaluating how well the kidneys are filtering waste and maintaining electrolyte balance. The results help individuals and healthcare professionals manage and adjust treatment plans and lifestyle choices to support optimal kidney function and overall well-being. Blood tests for kidney health are important for checking how well your kidneys are working by measuring certain substances in the blood, like creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). These tests can find early signs of kidney problems, keep track of long-term kidney issues, and make sure the kidneys are removing waste properly.

Kidney Health Blood Tests in Leicester
Below are the key blood tests used to assess kidney health, each focusing on a specific hormone or indicator. Please confirm the package you are looking for.
Creatinine is a waste product from muscle metabolism, filtered by the kidneys. Measuring blood creatinine levels helps assess kidney function—high levels suggest impaired kidney filtration or kidney disease, while normal levels indicate healthy renal function.
The Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) measures how well the kidneys filter waste from the blood. It’s calculated using creatinine levels, age, sex, and race. A low eGFR indicates impaired kidney function or chronic kidney disease.
Potassium is a key electrolyte that helps regulate nerve signals, muscle contractions, and heart function. Blood potassium levels must be balanced—high (hyperkalemia) or low (hypokalemia) levels can cause serious heart and muscle problems.
Sodium is a vital electrolyte that helps maintain fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle contractions. Abnormal blood sodium levels—too high (hypernatremia) or too low (hyponatremia)—can cause dehydration, confusion, or seizures.
Urea is a waste product formed from protein metabolism and filtered by the kidneys. Measuring blood urea levels helps assess kidney function and hydration status. Elevated urea may indicate kidney impairment, dehydration, or high protein breakdown.
Uric acid is a waste product from purine metabolism. High levels can cause gout and kidney stones, while low levels are less common but may occur with certain diseases. Measuring uric acid helps diagnose and monitor these conditions.

Do you have swelling in your legs, ankles, or around your eyes?
Fluid retention (oedema) may indicate reduced kidney function affecting fluid balance. Blood tests assess creatinine, eGFR, and electrolytes to evaluate how effectively your kidneys are filtering and regulating fluids.
Do you feel persistently tired or low in energy?
Fatigue can be linked to toxin build-up or electrolyte imbalance when kidney function is reduced. Blood testing helps assess waste markers such as urea and creatinine to identify underlying issues.
Are you experiencing changes in urination (frequency, colour, or volume)?
Changes in urination patterns may indicate kidney dysfunction or fluid imbalance. Blood tests help assess filtration efficiency and identify abnormalities in kidney performance.
Do you have high blood pressure or difficulty controlling it?
Kidney function plays a key role in blood pressure regulation. Blood testing helps detect early kidney impairment, which may contribute to hypertension.
Are you experiencing nausea, loss of appetite, or general malaise?
Build-up of waste products in the blood can cause non-specific symptoms such as nausea or reduced appetite. Kidney blood tests help identify whether toxin clearance is impaired.
Do you have risk factors such as diabetes or a family history of kidney disease?
Conditions like diabetes and hypertension increase the risk of kidney disease. Blood testing helps detect early changes in kidney function, even before symptoms develop.

Click below to view useful info on a few of the common conditions we treat:
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Screening
Blood tests assess eGFR and creatinine to evaluate long-term kidney function. Early detection is essential, as kidney disease often develops without noticeable symptoms in its early stages.
Acute Kidney Function Changes
Testing helps identify sudden changes in kidney performance caused by dehydration, illness, or medication effects. Early detection supports prompt intervention and recovery.
Electrolyte Imbalance
Kidneys regulate key electrolytes such as sodium and potassium. Blood tests help detect imbalances that may affect hydration, nerve function, and heart rhythm.
Kidney Function Monitoring
Regular testing is used to monitor known kidney conditions or assess the impact of medications and long-term health conditions such as diabetes or hypertension.
General Renal Health Assessment
Comprehensive kidney blood testing evaluates filtration efficiency, waste removal, and fluid balance. This supports early detection of dysfunction and guides preventative health strategies.
