Protect Your Kidney Health with Early Detection
We understand the worry that comes with potential kidney problems. That sudden fear when you notice changes in your body, the anxiety about what might be happening inside. Our Acute Kidney Injury Panel is designed to give you answers and peace of mind when you need it most.
Kidney health is precious, and early detection can prevent serious complications. Whether you’re experiencing symptoms or have risk factors, this comprehensive panel provides the clarity you deserve.
Understanding Your Acute Kidney Injury Panel
This isn’t just another blood test – it’s a sophisticated assessment that looks at multiple aspects of kidney function simultaneously. We measure four key biomarkers that give us a complete picture of your kidney health:
- Cystatin C: A more sensitive marker than traditional creatinine for detecting early kidney changes
- NGAL (Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin): Detects kidney injury at the earliest stages
- Serum Creatinine: The standard measure of kidney filtration function
- Fractional Excretion of Sodium: Helps determine the cause of kidney issues
Using advanced methods including CMIA and Nephelometry, we ensure the highest accuracy in every result.
Who Should Consider This Kidney Health Assessment?
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms or situations, this test could be crucial for your health:
- Decreased urine output or changes in urination patterns
- Swelling in legs, ankles, or around eyes
- Fatigue, weakness, or shortness of breath
- Nausea, confusion, or chest pain
- Recent serious illness, surgery, or hospitalisation
- Taking medications that can affect kidney function
- Existing conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease
- Family history of kidney problems
Many patients tell us they wish they’d tested earlier. Don’t let uncertainty about your kidney health cause unnecessary stress.
Why Early Kidney Detection Matters for Your Health
Early detection of kidney injury can:
- Prevent permanent damage: Identify issues before they become irreversible
- Guide treatment decisions: Help your doctor choose the right interventions
- Reduce hospital stays: Early management often means shorter recovery
- Save on future healthcare costs: Prevention is always more affordable than treatment
- Provide peace of mind: Knowing your status reduces anxiety and uncertainty
One patient shared: “Getting this test gave me the confidence to have an informed conversation with my doctor. The results were clear, and we caught my kidney issues early enough to make simple lifestyle changes.”
