Kidney disease is affecting millions of people worldwide. The kidney is an important part of the body. It removes waste products such as creatinine and urea from the blood. It also produces hormones responsible for the synthesis of red blood cells, calcium balance, and maintenance of blood pressure.

You can develop chronic kidney damage due to uncontrolled diabetes, blood pressure, and heart disease. It is quite important that your kidney must function properly.

• Blood Urea Nitrogen: The main purpose of this test is to check the waste product urea and the amount of nitrogen in the body's blood. Urea is the nitrogenous waste product of metabolism protein, and an excess of urea in the blood can cause diseases.
• Uric Acid: This test gives the value of uric acid in the blood. It is a waste product excreted from the body by the kidneys through urine. It is also essential for building blocks of DNA. The uric acid crystals can also accumulate in the kidney and contribute to the formation of kidney stones.
