LupiKavach Complete Kidney Check

The LupiKavach Complete Kidney Check package is a comprehensive panel created to evaluate your kidney health. It examines the protein and urea nitrogen levels in the blood, along with checking for blood, proteins, or bacterial infections in urine, among other parameters. This test helps healthcare providers assess the risk of kidney damage from conditions such as diabetes and hypertension. It also provides insights into kidney function and can guide lifestyle changes for better health.

The signs and symptoms of kidney disease depend on the specific condition present and may include:

The LupiKavach Complete Kidney Check offers the following tests for comprehensive kidney health screening:

Kidney Function Test (KFT) GOLD: Evaluates kidney health by measuring urea, creatinine, uric acid, protein, and electrolytes, helping to detect conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure.

Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR): This test measures the filtration rate of kidneys based on age, gender, and body composition. It indicates the functioning efficiency of your kidneys.

Complete Urine Examination: Analyzes urine's chemical and physical properties to diagnose urinary tract infections and kidney diseases.

Complete Blood Count (CBC): Measures white blood cells (WBC), red blood cells (RBC), platelets (PLT), etc. to evaluate each type of blood cell in your blood.

Blood sugar-fasting: Measures blood sugar levels after an overnight fast (10-12 hours) to assess blood sugar control.

Vitamin D: Measures vitamin D levels. Abnormal vitamin D levels affect bone health and can cause fatigue or kidney problems.

Kidney Function Test (KFT) GOLD and Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)

• The eGFR range below 60 can indicate different stages of kidney functionality and damage.
• Having higher-than-normal of serum creatinine and BUN levels in the blood increases the risk of kidney disease.
• Having higher-than-normal levels of urine albumin and albumin-creatinine ratio can increase the risk of kidney disease and other diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure. 

Complete Urine Examination

• Urine usually contains a variety of chemicals and substances. It is generally clear with a light yellow colour. The pH level should be between 4.5 and 8, indicating its acidity or alkalinity.
• Urine is typically free of protein, glucose, and ketones. Under a microscope, a normal examination will reveal up to 5 red blood cells, 5 white blood cells, and no bacteria. Any results that deviate from these may indicate a specific health issue.

Complete Blood Count (CBC)

• Abnormal levels of hemoglobin, hematocrit, or RBCs can be signs of anemia, heart disease, or iron deficiency.
• A low white blood cell count might be caused by a bone marrow disorder, an autoimmune disorder, or cancer.
• A high white blood cell count may be because of inflammation, infection, or a reaction to a medication.

Blood sugar-fasting

High fasting glucose levels could indicate diabetes, a disorder of the pancreas, or hyperthyroidism. 

Vitamin D

Vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency means you are:

• Not getting adequate vitamin D from your diet or from being in the sun.
• Having trouble absorbing vitamin D from your food (sign of a malabsorption disorder).
• Difficulty converting vitamin D into a usable form in your body could suggest that there are some kidney concerns.

Excessive intake of vitamin D supplements can lead to hypervitaminosis D, which can elevate total vitamin D levels in the body and lead to severe damage to organs and blood vessels.
