Advanced Kidney Profile
An Advanced Kidney Profile is crucial for evaluating kidney function and detecting early signs of kidney disease. It includes urea, creatinine, and eGFR to measure how well your kidneys filter waste. Electrolytes like sodium, potassium, bicarbonate, and chloride help assess fluid balance and kidney health. Calcium, phosphorus, and uric acid levels monitor bone health and kidney-related metabolic functions. The microalbumin test detects protein in urine, an early marker of kidney damage. This comprehensive profile ensures timely intervention for optimal kidney care.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any preparations needed before doing a kidney profile test?
Most kidney tests require no fasting, but staying hydrated improves accuracy. Avoid heavy exercise, excess protein, and unnecessary medications beforehand to ensure reliable kidney function, electrolyte balance, and urine health measurements.
What tests are included in an Advanced Kidney Profile and what do they check?
The Advanced Kidney Profile typically evaluates creatinine, eGFR, BUN, uric acid, electrolytes, and urine markers, giving detailed insights into filtration efficiency, metabolic balance, and early kidney stress or dysfunction.
Does this test help monitor kidney health if I have frequent urinary tract infections?
Yes, it helps track kidney function, inflammation markers, and urine abnormalities, detecting early signs of infection-related strain and ensuring timely treatment to prevent long-term kidney damage from recurring UTIs.
If I have normal kidney function now, how often should I repeat the test for preventive health?
The Advanced Kidney Profile is recommended annually for preventive care, helping monitor filtration efficiency, electrolyte balance, and early changes influenced by age, lifestyle, hydration habits, or family history of kidney disease.
Can kidney tests detect risk of kidney stones or urinary tract issues early on?
Yes, kidney testing evaluates minerals, uric acid levels, urine pH, and crystal patterns, helping identify early stone risk and urinary tract concerns before symptoms develop, supporting proactive kidney health protection.
How often should I take a kidney health profile if I have diabetes or high blood pressure?
The Advanced Kidney Profile is advised every six to twelve months for diabetes or hypertension, monitoring filtration markers, electrolytes, and urine proteins to detect early kidney stress and prevent complications.
Can an advanced kidney profile detect kidney stress before symptoms like swelling or fatigue appear?
An advanced kidney profile can reveal early kidney stress by analyzing creatinine, eGFR, electrolytes, and protein levels, helping detect subtle functional changes long before visible symptoms like swelling or fatigue develop.
Can the test detect early signs of kidney stones or mineral imbalance before symptoms appear?
Yes, this profile helps identify mineral imbalance, abnormal calcium levels, and metabolic markers linked to stone formation, allowing early detection of kidney stone risk even before pain, blockage, or urinary symptoms start.
