Renal Profile

A renal profile test is a series of tests conducted to assess the functional status of an individual’s kidneys. The specific use of these tests depends on the patient’s needs and the doctor’s prescription. Typically, the goal of the test is to evaluate electrolyte levels, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine levels, and the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in the patient’s body. These parameters provide valuable information to the doctor, helping determine the efficiency of the kidneys. The test involves collecting urine or blood samples, and it serves as a screening or monitoring tool for various kidney diseases, with minimal to no side effects.
