About this service
Description
The renal function profile is a panel of tests, performed to determine the overall health of the kidneys. These blood tests provide an overview of the health and functioning of the kidneys and are prescribed for detecting different types of kidney-related issues.
Overview of the Renal Function Profile
The renal function profile test (serum, without urine) is performed to measure the levels of various substances in the blood to determine how the kidneys are functioning. If damaged or affected by a medical condition, when the kidneys do not function properly, waste and toxins start accumulating in the body, resulting in the raised levels of various elements in the blood. These include several minerals, electrolytes, proteins, and glucose, the levels of which falling within or beyond the normal range under a renal profile help in understanding kidney health. The list of tests under the renal profile includes tests for determining the levels of seven biomarkers, which are sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate, urea, creatinine, and calcium.

Why it's done
The renal function profile test is generally prescribed if a person has been experiencing symptoms that may indicate kidney-related issues or impaired kidney function. Some of the most common symptoms that may indicate the same include:
- High blood pressure
- Fatigue
- Trouble concentrating
- Loss of appetite
- Insomnia
- Swelling in the face or in other body parts, like the wrists, abdomen, thighs, or ankles
Other symptoms include foamy, bloody urine with abnormal discharge and a burning sensation and less-frequent urination along with pain in the mid-back, below the ribs, or near where the kidneys are located. For people who are at a higher risk of developing kidney diseases, it is important to book a renal profile test immediately if they:
- Have high blood pressure
- Are suffering from diabetes

Sometimes, the renal profile test is also performed to determine the severity or progression of existing kidney disease.
