BioTest Kidney Function Test Kit - 2 Test

Your kidneys are bean shaped organ, each about the size of your fist. They are located near the middle of your back, just below your rib cage. Kidneys work as filters that filter waste products and extra water from your blood and produce urine as a result. The average adult passes between 0.8L and 2.6L per day, depending on the fluids a person consumes. The tiny units inside your kidneys, called nephrons, are the actual filtering unit. Every kidney has about a million nephrons. Most kidney diseases attack the nephrons, altering their ability to filter blood and produce urine. Kidney failure means that the kidney will loose one or more of the following functions: 
1. Filtering ability 
2. Concentrating ability 
3. Removing by-products 

The BioTest Kidney Function Test Kit contains two dip-and-read test strips which are used for checking creatinine, protein and specific gravity in urine as an aid in evaluating kidney function. The results can be read by visually comparing the colour on the test strip with the colour chart printed on the box. 

Screening must be a priority for those people considered to be at high risk of kidney disease, including individuals with: 
- Diabetes 
- Hypertension / high blood pressure 
- Auto immune diseases such as SLE 
- who are obese 
- who smoke regularly 
- over 50 years of age 
- with family history of kidney disease, diabetes or hypertension
