A COMPLETE SET OF TESTS THAT CHECK: • Levels of key electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate) • Waste-product markers of kidney function (urea and creatinine) WHAT THIS TEST SUITE REVEALS: • How well the kidneys filter waste: elevated urea or creatinine may indicate impaired kidney function • The body’s fluid and electrolyte balance: abnormal sodium, potassium, chloride levels can cause or reflect dehydration, overhydration, or disturbances in salts • Acid-base status (via bicarbonate): helps assess whether your blood is too acidic or too alkaline • Early signs of kidney disease, acute kidney injury or chronic kidney dysfunction • Effects of medications, diet, or diseases (e.g. hypertension, diabetes, heart disease) on kidney and metabolic health • Changes over time to monitor kidney health and treatment responses
