Kidney tests (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.
