A hard mineral deposit in the kidney that can trigger sudden, severe pain (colic) as it passes into the ureter. MRI may show larger stones and detect any resulting backup of urine or swelling of the kidney.
Our comprehensive check-up screens for kidney stone and hundreds of other conditions.
A waste product from the breakdown of purines (found in certain foods and normal cell turnover). Elevated levels can lead to gout (painful joint inflammation) and kidney stones. Persistently high levels may indicate metabolic disorders or reduced kidney clearance.
Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)eGFR (estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate): Calculated using the CKD-EPI formula based on creatinine level, age, sex, and ethnic background. It estimates how much blood your kidneys filter per minute, with normal values typically above 90 ml/min/1.73m². Values below 60 ml/min/1.73m² indicate moderate kidney impairment, while values below 30 ml/min/1.73m² signifies severe impairment.
CreatinineCreatinine is a waste product from muscle metabolism that's filtered by the kidneys and excreted in urine. Serum levels remain relatively constant with normal kidney function, making it a reliable marker for kidney filtration capacity. Elevated levels suggest reduced kidney function.
