Renal Profile 2 Test Overview

The Renal Profile 2 Test is a diagnostic blood test that evaluates kidney function and helps identify potential kidney-related conditions. It analyses crucial blood components that are regulated by the kidneys, such as urea, creatinine, uric acid, and phosphate. Since kidneys play a vital role in filtering blood, eliminating waste, and balancing electrolyte levels, this test serves as a standard assessment of renal health.

This test is commonly included in routine health screenings or recommended when symptoms indicating kidney dysfunction arise. It helps healthcare providers determine whether kidney function is within the normal range or if there are early signs of issues like chronic kidney disease (CKD), dehydration, or other renal complications.

Why is the Renal Profile 2 Test Prescribed?

A person may face multiple health issues, including fatigue, nausea, high blood pressure and swelling in different areas. Moreover, the person facing hypertension, diabetes and family kidney issues will need to undergo the test. The kidney panel 2 test is often recommended to track the effectiveness of treatment for existing kidney conditions.

Kidney-related symptoms are sometimes mistaken for signs of other illnesses, which can delay diagnosis and potentially lead to serious kidney damage or failure. If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, undergoing a Renal Profile 2 Test is strongly advised:

Difficulty falling asleep.
Foamy urine
Blood in the urine
Swollen or puffy eyes

Components of Renal Profile 2 Test

The Renal Profile 2 Test is conducted to assess the levels of various electrolytes and minerals in the body that are vital for healthy kidney function. This test includes the measurement of Calcium (Ca), Potassium (K), Sodium (Na), Urea (URE), Creatinine (CRE), Chloride (Cl), Bicarbonate (CO2), Phosphate (PO4), Uric Acid (URA), Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), Anion Gap (AGP), and Alkaline Phosphatase (AKP). The test evaluates several key kidney-related parameters, such as:

Urea and Creatinine: Reflect the kidneys’ efficiency in filtering waste from the blood.
Electrolytes (Sodium, Potassium, Chloride): Essential for maintaining proper fluid balance and pH levels.
Uric Acid: Elevated levels can point to gout or impaired kidney function.
Calcium and Phosphate: Abnormal levels may signal metabolic disturbances or kidney dysfunction.

Procedure and Perquisites of Renal Profile 2 Test

The doctor may advise undergoing a fast for a few hours before the test. If you are eating any type of food, do mention it to your doctor. The clinician would draw blood from the vein and would also ask to submit additional analysis.

Once the laboratory analysis is completed, the doctor will review and interpret the results, with recommendations based on the findings.
