The kidneys play a vital role in maintaining blood volume, pH, blood pressure, and eliminating waste from the body. To assess these functions, a kidney function test is conducted. Also known as Renal Function Test, this test includes the measurement of Glomerulus Filtration Rate (GFR), gauging the efficiency of waste clearance by the kidneys. Typically, the kidney function test involves analyzing blood and urine, enabling the detection of abnormalities related to these crucial functions.
Conducting a Kidney Function Test is essential for both routine check-ups and specific issues like blood in urine, frequent or painful urination, among others. Healthcare professionals may recommend this test for various reasons. Symptoms like vomiting, changes in appetite, alterations in urination color and volume, and elevated blood pressure could indicate the need for a kidney function test to identify underlying issues. Individuals with chronic conditions such as diabetes or hypertension are especially encouraged to undergo routine kidney function tests to ensure proper kidney functionality. Any deviations from normal values indicated by the test should prompt consultation with healthcare professionals.

A kidney function test, also called a renal function test, checks how well your kidneys filter waste and maintain your blood volume, pH, and blood pressure. It usually analyses both blood and urine, and includes a measure of your glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
At Vesta Care, the kidney function test starts from AED 99, with home sample collection anywhere in Dubai and results in 24 to 48 hours.
The test screens both blood and urine. The urine sample is collected in a small container, and the blood sample is drawn from a vein in your arm. Both samples are then analysed at the laboratory.
The main tests are Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), which measures urea waste in your blood, estimated GFR (eGFR), which measures how well your kidneys filter waste, and serum creatinine, which measures a muscle-breakdown waste product. High levels can indicate reduced kidney function.
You may need one if you have symptoms like vomiting, high blood pressure, changes in urine colour or volume, a smell in your urine, pain when urinating, or blood in your urine. People with diabetes or hypertension are also advised to test regularly.
No special precautions are usually needed before or after a kidney function test. Simply contact our support team to book, and they will share any instructions relevant to your specific test.
The test only involves collecting urine and blood, so it is very safe. As with any blood draw, there is a small chance of minor bruising or, rarely, infection, which trained professionals minimise through proper technique and hygiene.
If your results fall outside the normal range, it may mean your kidneys are not filtering properly. Your doctor will review the results with you and advise on the next steps.
