Direct Renin*

A creatinine test is a measure of how well your kidneys are performing their job of filtering waste from your blood.

Indication: Measures kidney filtration efficiency. Why it's needed: Provides an accurate estimate of glomerular filtration rate (GFR), crucial in detecting early kidney disease.

Indication: Assesses renal function and is also used in ratio tests like Albumin/Creatinine. Why it's needed: Helps estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and detect kidney dysfunction.

Indication: Calculated from serum creatinine to assess kidney function. Why it's needed: Early indicator of chronic kidney disease (CKD), more accurate than creatinine alone.

Indication: Evaluates kidney function and hydration status. Why it's needed: High BUN can indicate kidney disease or dehydration; low levels suggest liver problems or overhydration.

Indication: Sensitive marker for early kidney function decline. Why it's needed: More accurate than creatinine in detecting mild kidney damage, especially in elderly or diabetic patients

Indication: Used to diagnose Goodpasture’s Syndrome, a rare autoimmune disease affecting kidneys and lungs. Why it's needed: Early detection is vital to prevent permanent kidney failure or lung hemorrhage.

Indication: Detects small amounts of albumin in urine. Why it's needed: Early marker of kidney damage, especially in diabetics or hypertensive patients.
