It is also suggested for individuals taking certain medications that may affect kidney function, and as part of routine health checkup to ensure early detection and management of potential kidney issues.
Overnight fasting is preferred for this test. A first morning midstream urine sample should be collected into a sterile container provided by the sample collection professional.
Understanding Kidney Health Screen
The Kidney Health Screen test helps assess the overall health and functionality of the kidneys. The kidneys play an important role in filtering waste products, balancing electrolytes, and maintaining fluid balance in the body. This screening package includes key tests to provide a thorough evaluation of kidney function. It includes serum calcium test which measures calcium levels in the blood to assess bone health and kidney function, serum creatinine test which evaluates kidney function by determining the amount of creatinine in the blood, uric acid test which checks for uric acid levels to detect gout and other potential kidney function issues, Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) test which measures the level of urea nitrogen in the blood to assess kidney function and protein metabolism and routine urine examination to detect urine abnormalities, providing insights into kidney and urinary tract health.
The Kidney Health Screen test is recommended for individuals with risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, a family history of kidney disease or those experiencing symptoms like swelling, fatigue, or changes in urine output. It is also suggested for individuals taking certain medications that may affect kidney function, and as part of routine health checkup to ensure early detection and management of potential kidney issues. Early detection of kidney problems allows for timely intervention, potentially preventing the progression of chronic kidney disease and ensuring better management of overall health.
An overnight fasting is preferred before this test but is not mandatory. Inform your doctor about all the medications and supplements that you may be taking, as these may affect your test results and may require temporary discontinuation before the test. A midstream urine sample should be collected into a sterile container provided by the sample collection professional. Women are advised not to give the sample during the menstrual period unless prescribed, as that can interfere with certain test results.
Test result ranges can vary slightly between labs due to differences in testing methods and guidelines. Abnormal test results require expert interpretation; therefore, do not self-medicate at home solely based on these results and consult your doctor for proper understanding of the test results. Based on the results, your doctor will assess your medical condition, suggest lifestyle changes like diet and exercise, and decide if medication is needed to manage your condition.
What does Kidney Health Screen measure?
Contains 23 testsThe Kidney Health Screen test is tailored to assess the overall function and health of your kidneys. This comprehensive test includes serum calcium test, which helps evaluate calcium metabolism and kidney stone risk ; serum creatinine test to assess kidney filtration efficiency and detect potential kidney dysfunction; uric acid test to identify the risk of gout and kidney stones; and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) test is to evaluate kidney function and detect any possible impairment in the kidneys' ability to remove waste from the blood. Additionally, this profile also includes urine routine & microscopy (Urine R/M) test which provides detailed information on the physical and chemical characteristics of urine, helping to identify infections, kidney disease, and other urinary tract issues. Collectively, these tests provide valuable insights into kidney health and can help detect early signs of kidney disease.
The Serum Calcium test measures the levels of calcium in the body. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body; most of it is present in the bones and teeth, and the remaining portion (around 1%) is found in the blood. It is usually present in two forms in blood in about equal amounts: "bound calcium," which is attached to proteins in the blood, and "free calcium or ionized calcium," which is not attached to any protein.
The Serum Calcium test cannot be used to check for lack of calcium in your diet or osteoporosis (loss of calcium from bones) as the body can have normal calcium levels even in dietary calcium deficiency. Moreover, the body can normalize mild calcium deficiency by releasing the calcium stored in bones.

The Serum Creatinine test measures the creatinine level, a byproduct produced by the wear and tear of muscles during energy production. Since kidneys help filter creatinine, this test helps determine how well your kidneys work. Usually, high levels of creatinine in the blood signal diminished kidney function. At the same time, low levels may indicate decreased muscle mass.

The Uric Acid, Serum test measures the amount of uric acid in your blood. Uric acid is a waste product formed when the body breaks down purines. Purines are the natural substances found in your body’s cells (DNA) and in certain foods like red meat, or seafood. Under normal conditions, uric acid dissolves in the blood, passes through the kidneys, and is excreted in the urine. When this process doesn’t work properly, either due to increased production or reduced elimination, the uric acid can build up in the blood. This may indicate underlying health issues such as kidney dysfunction, gout, or presence of kidney stones. In some cases, the exact reason for high uric acid levels is unclear. On the other hand, low uric acid levels are rarely a cause for concern. This test helps doctors understand if uric acid levels are within a healthy range and whether further evaluation or treatment is needed.

The Urine R/M (Urine Routine & Microscopy) test involves gross, chemical, and microscopic evaluation of the urine sample.
-
Gross examination: It involves visually inspecting the urine sample for color and appearance. Typically, the urine color ranges from colorless or pale yellow to deep amber, depending on the urine’s concentration. Things such as medications, supplements, and some foods such as beetroot can affect the color of your urine. However, unusual urine color can also be a sign of disease.
In appearance, the urine sample may be clear or cloudy. A clear appearance is indicative of healthy urine. However, the presence of red blood cells, white blood cells, bacteria, etc., may result in cloudy urine, indicating conditions such as dehydration, UTIs, kidney stones, etc. Some other factors, such as sperm and skin cells, may also result in a cloudy appearance but are harmless.
-
Chemical examination: It examines the chemical nature of the urine sample using special test strips called dipsticks. These test strips are dipped into the urine sample and change color when they come in contact with specific substances. The degree of color change estimates the amount of the substance present. Some common things detected include protein, urine pH, ketones, glucose, specific gravity, blood, bilirubin, nitrites, and urobilinogen.
-
Microscopic examination: This involves the analysis of the urine sample under the microscope for pus cells, red blood cells, casts, crystals, bacteria, yeast and other constituents.

A Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) test measures the levels of urea nitrogen in the blood. Blood urea is a waste product that is formed in the liver when you eat food and the protein is metabolized into amino acids. This process leads to the production of ammonia that is further converted into urea. Both ammonia and urea are nitrogenous compounds. Your liver releases urea into the blood which is then carried out to the kidneys. In the kidneys, urea is filtered from the blood and flushed out of the body via urine. This is a continuous process, so a small amount of urea nitrogen always remains in the blood.
In the case of a kidney or liver disease, there is a change in the amount of urea present in the blood. If your liver produces urea in an increased amount or if there is any problem in kidney functioning, there might be difficulty in filtering out the waste products from the blood, which can result in increased urea levels in the blood.
