Laboratory Testing
Laboratory tests help diagnose kidney problems and monitor treatment. The appropriate tests depend on your condition; a large panel is not necessary for every patient.
Your Clinical Care Pathway
Your clinician may request kidney function, electrolytes, blood counts, urine protein or other targeted tests.
Some specialist tests may be sent to a reference laboratory.
Results need interpretation alongside symptoms and previous measurements.
Expected benefits and limitations
Testing can identify changes that guide treatment. An abnormal value may need repeat testing or further assessment; one result alone does not always establish a diagnosis. Turnaround varies by test and laboratory.
