Overview

The Complete Kidney Function Panel is a thorough blood test designed to evaluate kidney health and function by measuring levels of waste products, electrolytes, and filtration rates. This panel assesses creatinine, urea, electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate), and calculated ratios and rates to detect impaired kidney function, electrolyte imbalances, dehydration, or acid-base disturbances. Kidneys play a vital role in filtering waste, regulating fluids, and maintaining electrolyte balance, and early detection of issues can prevent progression to chronic kidney disease, which affects millions worldwide.

First Class Service
Friendly and helpful staff. Arranged an appointment for the next day at home. Joanne arrived for my appointment to take the required blood tests and delivered them to my local hospital within 35 minutes. I cannot recommend Swift Blood Tests highly enough.

 

Anne

I can’t praise this company enough! Jo arrived on time and was so lovely, easy to talk to and efficient. The whole process from booking the appointment ( and getting one for the following day) to receiving a text that the bloods had arrived at the hospital was really impressive. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely use this service again-

This is an amazing service which I heard about through a recommendation and I will 100% be recommending to friends. I booked in late one even and Joanne came early the next morning. I work in London so this was perfect to work around unusual business hours. Joanne was so efficient and friendly. Thank you!

Organised a visit for my disabled elderly mother. Trying to get a local appointment through the NHS swift queue system would have meant several weeks wait. This service was booked online within minutes and the service was prompt, efficient and very professionally carried out by a friendly nurse
