New! Creatinine with calculation of glomerular filtration rate

The kidneys play a key role in our body, performing important vital functions. Its main role is purification (elimination of toxins) and the release of excess fluid from the body. 

Kidney damage factors may include:

  • lifestyle (smoking, poor diet, overweight, lack of physical activity, long-term medication, etc.); 
  • diabetes mellitus; 
  • arterial hypertension; 
  • concomitant diseases (infections, diseases of the circulatory system). 

To assess how the kidneys cope with their task, you can use the creatinine service with the calculation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). 

This analysis provides an opportunity:

  • To identify the pathology of the urinary system; 
  • To assess the risk of developing kidney failure; 
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment; 
  • Adjust drug therapy; 
  • To determine the risk of complications, as well as the need for hemodialysis. 

To increase the likelihood of developing kidney failure may: 

  • kidney injuries; 
  • urinary tract infections, pyelonephritis; 
  • polycystosis, renal tuberculosis; 
  • difficulty urinating, vesicoureteral reflux; 
  • underlying hereditary risk for kidney failure; 
  • abnormalities of kidney development; 
  • low birth weight; 
  • type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus; 
  • heart disease, heart failure, hypertension; 
  • obesity; 
  • autoimmune diseases; 
  • hemolytic anemia, malaria; 
  • HIV infection 
  • oncological disease 
  • worms; 
  • intestinal diseases; 
  • age over 60 years; 
  • smoking tobacco.

 
The cost of the analysis is 1,680 tenge.

The profile is available in all branch offices of OLYMP CDL through Kazakhstan.
