Kidney Function
Your kidneys play a vital role in filtering waste products, balancing fluids, and maintaining healthy levels of minerals in your body.
This test measures key markers that reflect how effectively your kidneys are performing these functions.
Because early kidney disease often has no symptoms, testing is one of the most effective ways to detect any changes early and take proactive steps to manage your health.
