Kidney health check: Creatinine, eGFR, BUN & Cystatin C—know your numbers for better care! 🩺💡

How do we measure kidney health? 🩺💡 Let’s break down the essential blood tests used to evaluate kidney function! ✅ Creatinine Levels – High levels can indicate decreased kidney function. ✅ eGFR (Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate) – Measures how well your kidneys filter waste. A normal eGFR is 60+ ml/min. ✅ BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen) – Checks for waste buildup in the blood. ✅ Cystatin C – A newer alternative test for specific populations. Understanding these tests can help with early detection and prevention of kidney disease! Stay tuned for more insights. 💙 💬 Have you had your kidney function tested?
