Your kidneys play a vital role in removing waste products and excess fluid from the blood and excreting them in the urine. By doing so, the kidneys can manage fluid levels in the body, control electrolyte concentrations in the blood, regulate blood pressure, and stimulate red blood cell production.

This profile helps identify your risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD) and in the diagnosis, staging, or monitoring of CKD by measuring your blood creatinine levels, eGFR levels and albumin levels.
