Do You Really Know What’s In Your Blood? Early Signs of Kidney Trouble You Might Miss

Many Britons overlook early signs of kidney problems because symptoms can be subtle – or not obvious at all. Routine blood checks at home could reveal issues you never knew were there.

Why Is Urea Important for Kidney Health?

Your kidneys filter urea from your blood, helping clear the body of waste. If your urea levels rise, it could mean your kidneys are not working efficiently – even if you feel fine.

Silent Symptoms of Kidney Stress

• Mild confusion or trouble concentrating
• Unexplained itching or dry skin
• Changes in urination (frequency or volume)
• Puffy eyes on waking up

These subtle changes are easy to dismiss. That’s why regular blood tests play a crucial role in early detection, especially for those in the UK with family history, high blood pressure or diabetes.

The Science Behind Self-Testing

The Urea Home Blood Test Kit from Mayfield Clinic uses a tiny blood sample, which is analysed by accredited UK labs (TDL Tiny). With rapid results, you can take proactive steps for your kidney and urinary health from home.

Proactive Steps for Everyone – Even If You Don’t Buy a Kit

• Review your hydration habits daily
• Eat a balanced diet with moderate protein
• Check blood pressure regularly, even at home

“Awareness is your best defence. Even without symptoms, a simple blood test can help protect your health.”
