Do you feel overly tired, notice persistent swelling in your ankles, or see foaminess in your urine? These symptoms are easy to dismiss, especially when life gets busy, but they may be signs pointing towards something more serious: problems with your kidneys.
"Many people in the UK develop kidney issues without realising it, as early kidney disease is often silent."
Creatinine is a waste product made by your muscles and filtered out of your blood by your kidneys. Your estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) is a calculation that tells you how well your kidneys are filtering waste. When your kidneys aren't working properly, creatinine builds up, and your eGFR drops.
Testing is now easier than ever in the UK. With Mayfield Clinic's Home Creatinine & eGFR Blood Test Kit, you can order a test online, collect a tiny finger-prick sample at home, and have results in just one day. Prefer a more traditional approach? You can always book an in-person blood test at our Oxford, London, or Birmingham clinics.
Order your home kit now or contact Mayfield to discuss your symptoms further.
The Home Creatinine & eGFR Blood Test Kit provides a quick, convenient, and clinically reliable way to monitor kidney health without the need for a clinic visit. It uses a small finger-prick sample and is processed by an accredited UK lab, giving you results within one day.
Common symptoms that might suggest kidney problems include persistent tiredness, swelling in the ankles or around the eyes, changes in urination, and unexplained shortness of breath. However, early kidney damage often has no symptoms, making proactive testing important.
You can order the kit online through the Mayfield Clinic website or by calling our reception. Alternatively, you can book a traditional in-person blood test if you prefer a clinic environment.
