Concerned about kidney health, have high blood pressure or diabetes, or want to assess kidney function for optimal health and disease prevention?

Overview

Think of your kidneys as your body's master filtration system – they're constantly working behind the scenes to clean your blood, balance your body's fluids, and keep essential minerals like sodium and potassium at just the right levels. The EUC (Electrolytes, Urea, and Creatinine) test gives you a comprehensive snapshot of how well this vital system is performing by measuring waste products your kidneys should be filtering out, along with the key electrolytes they help regulate.

This test is particularly valuable because kidney problems often develop silently, without obvious symptoms until they're quite advanced. If your results show elevated waste products like creatinine or urea, or if your electrolytes are out of balance, it could signal that your kidneys are struggling to keep up with their filtering duties. Since your kidneys also play crucial roles in controlling blood pressure and supporting bone health, catching any issues early through EUC testing can help prevent more serious complications down the road and keep your entire body functioning at its best.
