Kidney failure occurs when your kidneys lose the ability to filter waste from your blood sufficiently.Toxic exposure to environmental pollutants or certain medications or severe dehydration are some of causes of kidney failure. Chronic Kidney Diseases, Kidney stones, Glomerulonephritis, Polycystic Kidney diseases, UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) are the life threatening kidney diseases. if you are feeling fatigue, difficulty in concentrating, muscle cramping, swelling in legs or near eyes then do not ignore these symptoms and go for kidney test as soon as possible. These are the symptoms for kidney failure.Do not ignore, book your test at BookMyScans and get the best price at 75% discount and 5 blood test . https://www.facebook.com/BookMyScansDotCom https://www.linkedin.com/in/bookmyscans/

1. KIDNEY FUNCTION TEST
“Precaution is better than cure”

2. WHAT IS KIDNEY
• The kidneys are bean-shaped organs on either side of your
spine, below your ribs and behind your belly.
• Each kidney is about 4 to 5 inches long, roughly the size of a
large fist.

3. How does a Kidney functions ???
• Blood flows into kidney, Waste gets removed.
• Salt and mineral gets adjusted, if needed.
• Waste gets turned into urine, which collects in the
kidney pelvis, a funnel shaped structure that drains
down a tube called the ureter to the bladder.
• If blood stops into the kidney, part of or all of it
could die. That can lead into a KIDNEY FAILURE!!

4. Symptoms of KIDNEY DISEASES!!
• Fatigue
• Difficulty concentrating
• Trouble sleeping
• Poor appetite
• Muscle cramping
• Swollen feet/ankles
• Puffiness around the eye in the morning
• Dry or scaly screen
• Frequent urination, especially late in Night.

5. Kidney DISEASES & CAUSES !!
Kidney diseases has several types, Such as :
 CKD ( Chronic Kidney Diseases )
 Kidney stones
 Glomerulonephritis
 Polycystic kidney disease
 UTI ( Urinary Tract Infection )

6. CKD ( Chronic Kidney Diseases )
 This is the common form of kidney diseases.
 Commonly caused by high blood pressure
 High blood pressure is dangerous for kidneys because it can increase the
pressure in the Glomeruli which is a tiny blood vessel for blood cleaning.
 Diabetes is the major cause for Chronic Kidney Disease. Sugar level
damages the blood vessel and kidney starts declining.

7. Kidney Stone !!
• They occur when minerals and other substances in the blood
crystalize in the kidneys, forming solid masses (stone).
• Kidney stones usually come out of the body during urination.
Passing kidney stones can be extremely painful, but rarely
cause significant problems

8. GLOMERULONEPHRITIS!!!
• It’s an inflammation of Glomeruli.
• Glomerulonephritis can be caused by infections, drugs or
congenital abnormalities ( disorder that occur during or
shortly after birth )

9. UTI ( Urinal Tract Infection )!!!
• UTI (Urinal Tract Infection) are bacterial infections of any part of the
urinary system.
• Infection in the bladder and urethra are the most common. They are easily
treatable and rarely lead to more health problems. However, if left
untreated these infections can spread to the kidneys and cause kidney
failure.

10. KIDNEY FAILURE SYMPTOMS :
• A reduced amount of Urine
• Swelling of your legs, ankles and feet from
retention of fluids caused by the failure of your
kidneys to eliminate the water waste.
• Unexplained shortness of breath
• Excessive drowsiness or fatigue
• Pain or pressure inside chest
• Coma
• Persistent nausea

11. Causes for KIDNEY FAILURE!!
• Kidney failure occurs when your kidneys lose the ability to filter waste from
your blood sufficiently. Many factors can interfere with your kidney health
and function such as :
Toxic exposure to environmental pollutants or
certain medication
Certain acute and chronic diseases
Severe dehydration
 Kidney trauma

12. Types of KIDNEY FAILURE!!
There 5 different types of kidney failure :
 Acute pre-renal kidney failure
 Acute intrinsic kidney failure
 Chronic pre-renal kidney failure
 Chronic intrinsic Kidney failure
 Chronic Post-renal kidney failure

13. Acute Pre-renal kidney failure :
• Insufficient blood flows to the kidneys because of
Acute pre-renal kidney failure.
• The kidney can’t filter toxins from the blood without
enough blood flow
• This type of kidney failure can usually be cured once
you and your doctor determine the cause of the
decreased blood flow.

14. Acute Intrinsic Kidney failure!!
• Can be caused by direct trauma to the kidneys, such as physical impact or
an accident. Causes also include toxin overload and ischemia, which is a
lack of oxygen to the kidneys. The following may cause ischemia :
 Severe Bleeding
 Shock
 Renal blood vessel obstruction
 Glomerulonephritis

15. Chronic Pre-renal kidney failure!!
• When there is no time for enough blood to flow into
the kidneys for an extended period of time, the
kidneys begin to shrink and lose the ability to
function.

16. Chronic intrinsic kidney failure!!
• This happens when there is a long term damage to
the kidneys due to intrinsic kidney disease.
• Intrinsic kidney disease is caused by direct trauma to
the kidneys, such as severe bleeding or lack of
oxygen.

17. Chronic Post-renal kidney failure!!
• A long term blockage of urinary tract prevents
urination . This causes pressure and eventual kidney
damage.

18. Why do Doctors ask for KIDNEY FUNCTION TEST
???
 To test your kidney function, your doctor will order a set of
tests that can estimate your Glomerular Filtration Rate ( GFR ).
 Your GFR tells your doctor how quickly your kidneys are
cleaning waste from your body.

19. KIDNEY FUNCTION TESTS :
 Urinalysis
 Serum creatinine test
 BUN ( Blood Urea Nitrogen )
 Estimated GFR

20. Urinalysis :
• A urinalysis screens for the presence of protein and blood in the urine.
• Infection increases urine protein, but so does a heavy physical workout.
Your doctor may want to repeat this test after a few weeks to see if the
results are similar.
• Your doctor may also ask you to provide a urine collection sample
• This can help doctors see how fast a waste product called creatinine is
clearing from your body. Creatinine is a breakdown product of muscle
tissue.

21. Serum Creatinine test :
• This blood test examines whether creatinine is building up in your blood.
• The kidneys usually completely filter creatinine from the blood. A high
level of creatinine suggests a kidney problem.
• According to the National Kidney Foundation (NKF), a creatinine level
higher than 1.2 milligrams/deciliter (mg/dL) for women and 1.4 mg/dL for
men is a sign of a kidney problem.

22. BUN ( Blood Urea Nitrogen )
 checks for waste products in your blood
 This test measure the amount of nitrogen in the blood. Urea nitrogen is a
breakdown product of protein.
 A normal BUN level is between 7 and 20 mg/dL. A higher value could
suggest several different health problems.

23. Estimated GFR :
• This test estimates how well your kidneys are filtering waste. The test
determines the rate by looking at factors, such as:
• Test results, specifically creatinine levels
• age
• gender
• race
• height
• Weight

24. How is this test being conducted ??!!
Kidney function tests usually require a 10-12 hour fasting for blood test.
 Urine sample requires for creatinine clearance test. It gives your doctor an
idea of how much creatinine your body expels over a single day.
 On the day that you start the test, urinate into the toilet as you normally
would when you wake up.
 For the rest of the day and night, urinate into a special container provided
by your doctor.

25. Continued….
• Keep the container capped and refrigerated during the collection process.
Make sure to label the container clearly and to tell other family members
why it’s in the refrigerator.
• On the morning of the second day, urinate into the container when you
get up.
• Follow your doctor’s instructions about where to drop the sample off. You
may need to return it either to your doctor’s office or a laboratory

26. What is the right time for this test !!
• If the doctor has doubt that patient have kidney problems.
• If any symptoms like swelling in leg or swelling near eye.
• If patient has complain about urinate issue as NO or A LOT
MORE urine.
