Any dysfunction in their performance can lead to serious complications affecting the heart, bones, and nervous system. This package includes multiple tests to comprehensively assess kidney function.

Important Information

  • Drink enough water (but don’t overdo it) — dehydration can elevate creatinine levels. Avoid strenuous exercise 24 hours prior (it raises CK and may affect some readings). Stop Biotin 48–72 hours before the test if possible (it can interfere with certain hormones like PTH). If you consume creatine or high-protein supplements, inform the medical team. For women: urine samples are preferably collected away from menstruation days to avoid contamination.

Common Questions

  • Do I Need to Fast? Fasting for 8–12 hours is recommended for this package because it includes components affected by food intake (especially fats, calcium, and phosphorus). Drinking water is allowed.
  • What About Coffee/Tea? It’s best to stick to water only until the sample is collected.
  • Should I Stop My Medications? Do not stop any chronic medications without consulting your doctor, but please inform us about them—especially diuretics, painkillers, and creatine supplements.
  • When Will I Get the Results? Usually within 24 hours, though this may vary depending on the lab and holidays.
  • Is One Test Enough? Often, results are confirmed by repeating the test after 2–3 weeks if a borderline value appears.

Simple Practical Tips

  • Drink water throughout the day (pale urine color indicates good hydration).
  • Gradually reduce salt intake (replace with lemon or herbs/spices).
  • Maintain stable blood pressure and blood sugar—this is the most important factor in protecting your kidneys.
  • Consume a moderate amount of protein suitable for your body weight (avoid excess or deficiency).
  • Avoid regular use of painkillers without medical advice (especially NSAIDs).
  • Engage in daily physical activity for 20–30 minutes.

Conditions & Notices

  • The urine test requires a clean midstream sample.
  • It is important to inform the laboratory about any regularly used medications, especially diuretics and blood pressure medications.
  • Some tests (like PTH) should be taken in the morning due to their connection with the biological clock.
  • The results are not considered a definitive diagnosis and should be reviewed by a doctor to confirm them and correlate them with the clinical condition.
