🧠 Check Your Kidney Function Now
Free eGFR calculator – early detection saves lives. Understand your risk, slow progression, and take control.
✅ Why to check kidney function
The kidneys excrete waste products, maintain chemicals (potassium, sodium), balance water, and remove toxic materials. When waste products accumulate, it causes several undesirable symptoms, aggravated by elevated minerals and acidosis of the blood due to retention of hydrogen ions.
🩺 Common causes of kidney failure
The most common causes are diabetes and high blood pressure as long‑term complications. Kidney disease, once it starts, is progressive over time. Unfortunately, most end‑stage kidney disease patients are discovered at a late stage because signs and symptoms appear only when more than 90% of kidney function is lost.
👉 This highlights the importance of early detection – to manage and slow progression through an early diagnosis.
🔬 Detecting kidney function
Detection can be done by measuring blood creatinine and the presence of protein in urine. Clinical presentation of chronic kidney disease is generally asymptomatic.
- Up to 90% of kidney function may be lost before symptoms appear.
- People with chronic kidney disease may not notice any symptoms until they reach the last stage.
📋 How it can be checked
It’s very simple: go to any medical lab and test serum creatinine and perform a urine analysis. You can even do a preliminary urine analysis yourself using urinary test strips. Most kidney diseases can be discovered by examining urine.
