Welche Vorteile bietet dieser Test für mich?
The kidneys play a central role in your body: They filter the blood, regulate the water and electrolyte balance, and excrete waste products. Impaired kidney function often goes unnoticed for a long time, as symptoms only appear in advanced stages. With the Kidney Check, you gain valuable insights into your kidney health.
The test analyzes the following important kidney markers:
- Uric Acid: Elevated levels may indicate gout or impaired kidney function.
- Urea: Formed during the breakdown of proteins and excreted through the kidneys. Elevated levels may indicate impaired kidney performance.
- Sodium: A vital electrolyte essential for fluid balance and kidney function.
- Creatinine: A waste product of muscle metabolism that is excreted by the kidneys. High levels can indicate kidney dysfunction.
- NT-proBNP: A marker for heart and kidney function. Elevated levels can indicate heart overload or reduced kidney performance.
Why is this test important?
The kidneys filter around 50 liters of blood daily and are crucial for the elimination of toxins. Impaired kidney function can develop gradually and lead to serious health problems in the long term. Regular tests help to detect changes early and prevent potential diseases.
Convenient & reliable test execution
With the Kidney Check, you can conveniently check your kidney function from home.Sampling is easily done using capillary blood from the fingertip. The analysis is conducted in a certified specialist laboratory, ensuring you receive precise and reliable results.
Was bedeuten die gemessenen Werte?
Creatinine is a breakdown product of muscle metabolism that is filtered out of the blood by the kidneys. The creatinine level provides information about kidney function, with elevated levels potentially indicating a kidney dysfunction.
Urea
Urea is an end product of protein metabolism and is excreted through the kidneys. Its value indicates how well the body breaks down excess proteins and provides important information about kidney function and metabolism.
Uric acid
Uric acid is a breakdown product of purines, which come from food or cells. An elevated level can not only lead to painful gout attacks but also indicate a metabolic imbalance that can strain the kidneys and joints in the long term.
Sodium
Sodium is an important mineral and electrolyte that regulates the body's water and salt balance. It also plays a central role in nerve signal transmission and muscle function. The body usually maintains sodium levels within a narrow range to keep essential functions stable.
Excessive levels (hypernatremia) often occur with fluid deficiency and can trigger thirst, confusion, or seizures. Low levels (hyponatremia) can result from significant fluid loss, kidney problems, or certain medications, leading to weakness, headaches, and, in extreme cases, consciousness disorders.
NT-proBNP
NT-proBNP is a highly sensitive marker for heart health, which is elevated in cases of heart stress, such as heart failure or stress. This value helps to detect problems early, before symptoms occur, and supports targeted treatment.
Warum ist dieser Test wichtig?
The kidneys are essential for the detoxification of the body and the regulation of fluid and electrolyte balance. An unnoticed impairment of kidney function can lead to serious health problems in the long term. The Kidney Check helps you keep track of your kidney values and detect potential problems early.

Warum ist dieser Test wichtig?
What is examined in the kidney check?
The test measures key kidney values such as uric acid, urea, sodium, creatinine and NT-proBNP to check the detoxification and filtration function of the kidneys.
Who is this test suitable for?
The kidney check is ideal for people with risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or a family history of kidney disease, as well as for anyone who wants to regularly check their kidney function.
How does the sampling work?
The sampling is simple and painless via capillary blood from the fingertip. You will receive a test kit with clear instructions for easy home use.
How long does it take to receive my results?
After sending in the sample, you will usually receive your lab results digitally within 3–5 business days.
What does the creatinine level indicate about my kidney function?
Creatinine is a waste product of muscle metabolism and is excreted by the kidneys. Elevated levels may indicate impaired kidney function.
What does an elevated urea level mean?
Urea is produced during the breakdown of proteins and is excreted by the kidneys. An elevated level may indicate kidney dysfunction or high protein intake.
How reliable are the results?
The analysis is conducted in a certified specialist laboratory according to the highest medical standards, ensuring you can rely on precise and reliable results.
What happens if my values are outside the reference range?
If abnormalities are detected, you should discuss the results with a doctor.He may recommend further investigations or targeted measures.
