Health check The kidney test, is designed to offer you a comprehensive insight into your kidney function and salt balance, especially if you suspect or are worried about kidney failure. The kidneys are important organs that play a crucial role in cleaning the blood of waste products and regulating the fluid balance in the body through the production of urine. The kidney test includes analyzes of several markers related to your kidney function, including eGFR (cystatin C), creatinine, sodium, cystatin C, albumin, phosphate, chloride, calcium and potassium to ensure a thorough assessment of your kidney health.

Why should I choose the kidney scan?

The kidneys perform critical functions in the body, and suspected kidney failure requires extra attention. With Njurkollen, you can quickly detect potential abnormalities at an early stage, which is crucial for taking immediate action and promoting long-term kidney health.

For those who suspect kidney failure, the Kidney scan provides a deeper understanding of kidney function. By analyzing markers such as eGFR (cystatin C) and creatinine, we offer molecular insight that helps you make informed decisions about your health, regardless of your current situation. When the kidneys fail, they lose their ability to effectively cleanse the body of harmful substances and excess fluid. Normally, these substances and excess fluid would be eliminated through the urine, but in kidney failure this process is disrupted.

The kidney check extends beyond a regular kidney check by including a detailed analysis of sodium, chloride, calcium and potassium. This comprehensive salt balance analysis provides a comprehensive picture of your body function and supports the optimization of fluid and electrolyte balance - an important aspect in the management of kidney failure.

Where are the kidneys?

The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs located in the lower back above the waist. The kidneys sit on each side of the spine and are part of the upper abdominal cavity. Normally, the right kidney is slightly lower than the left, due to the position of the liver on the right side of the body.

Check the kidneys for back pain?

In some cases, especially with kidney inflammation or kidney stones, there may be pain in the back or flank, which is the area between the ribs and the hip on the side of the back where the kidneys sit. It is important to note that pain is not always a clear symptom of kidney failure, especially in the early stages where a check of your kidney values can be used as a preventative measure. If you suspect problems with your kidneys or experience any of these symptoms, it is best to seek medical help for a proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

The kidneys are vital organs that filter the blood, regulate fluid balance, and remove waste products through urine. They play a central role in blood pressure regulation, electrolyte balance, and the production of hormones that affect blood formation and calcium metabolism. Renal markers are analyzed to assess kidney function and detect early signs of kidney disease. They can provide important information about filtration capacity, fluid balance, and any effects on the kidneys.

Cystatin C is a protein produced by all cells in the body and filtered by the kidneys. Measuring cystatin C levels can give an indication of kidney function.

Potassium is an important mineral for body function, especially for muscle cells. A small part of the total amount of potassium is found in body fluids, and when the potassium level is measured, it is measured in the fluid around the blood cells.

Chloride is an electrolyte that is important for normal cell function and regulation of fluid and salt balance in the body. It is part of the stomach's hydrochloric acid and contributes to food digestion.

Creatinine is formed in your muscles when the body breaks down creatine phosphate (the muscles' energy reserve). The kidneys' job is to filter creatinine.

Sodium is a mineral that we get in our diet through, for example, meat, fish and cereals, as well as ordinary table salt, which consists of sodium chloride.

Urate or uric acid is a naturally occurring chemical compound produced in the kidneys and intestines and excreted when the body breaks down substances called purines.

Urea is a residual product that is formed during the breakdown of proteins and amino acids from the food we put into us

eGFR is a marker of kidney function, a low eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) may indicate impaired kidney function.

The liver is a vital organ that plays a central role in metabolism, detoxification and energy storage. It produces enzymes and proteins that are important for digestion, blood clotting and immune function. Liver markers are analyzed in the blood to assess the health and function of the liver. They can provide important information about liver damage, inflammation and disease states.

Albumin is a protein from the liver that keeps fluid in the bloodstream. In kidney disease, albumin can leak into the urine, resulting in lower albumin levels in the blood and swelling of the body. Low albumin can also indicate poor nutritional status.

Vitamins and minerals are essential nutrients that the body needs to maintain normal function, energy metabolism and immune function. They play a central role in everything from blood formation and bone health to hormone production and nerve function. Vitamin and mineral analyses are performed on the blood to identify any deficiencies or imbalances. They can provide important information about nutritional status and help optimize health through personalized dietary and supplement recommendations.

Phosphate is an additive, it often appears in combination with, for example, sodium and calcium which form salts - these are called phosphates.

Calcium is important for muscles, nerves and heart. We get calcium from dairy products, leafy vegetables and nuts. Vegetarians and vegans can get added calcium from alternatives to milk.
