Analysis of kidney samples (creatinine, urea, uric acid)

Analysis of kidney samples (which includes creatinine, urea, and uric acid) is performed to assess kidney function. These biochemical parameters are important for detecting and monitoring kidney disease and other conditions that can affect the kidneys.

  • Creatinine: This is a breakdown product of creatine phosphate from muscles. The kidneys remove creatinine from the body. An increased level of creatinine in the blood often indicates impaired kidney function.
  • Urea: This is the end product of protein metabolism. It is formed in the liver and excreted through the kidneys. High levels of blood urea can indicate kidney problems or dehydration.
  • Uric acid: Is the end product of purine metabolism. An increase in the level of uric acid can indicate the risk of developing gout, the formation of kidney stones, or impaired kidney function.
  • What are the indications for analysis?

    The main indications for the appointment of the analysis:

    • As a component of a preventive examination for persons with risk factors for impaired kidney function (cardiovascular, endocrine, rheumatoid and other diseases, preeclampsia in pregnant women);
    • To monitor kidney function in people with chronic kidney disease, when taking nephrotoxic drugs, etc.;
    • After infections with a risk of kidney complications (influenza, tonsillitis, SARS and others);
    • In the presence of symptoms that may be due to impaired kidney function (change in the frequency of urination and color of urine, the presence of impurities; change in the amount of urine with the usual drinking regime; swelling of the hands, face and legs; pain in the lumbar region; skin itching; headache; high blood pressure ).
  • How to prepare for the analysis?

    Recommendations before passing the analysis:

    • In the morning on an empty stomach, you can drink pure still water.
    • Venous blood sampling is possible from the age of 2.
    • The day before, it is necessary to exclude from the diet fatty or spicy food, alcohol, as well as physical activity.
