Have you noticed puffiness around your eyes, fatigue that doesn't go away, or changes in how often you urinate? While these can be caused by many factors, they may also signal that your kidneys are under strain.
Your kidneys are vital for filtering toxins from your bloodstream. Creatinine is a natural waste product, and tracking its level in your blood can reveal how well your kidneys are working. Alongside this, the eGFR offers a more comprehensive assessment by considering your age, sex, and ethnic background.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth understanding the science—and having an easy way to check where you stand.
The convenience of a home Creatinine & eGFR blood test kit is hard to ignore. It's fast, discreet, and lets you follow up on symptoms without delay. You’ll get a report in just one working day, with clinician support for your results.
If you prefer, you can book an in-person blood test at a Mayfield Clinic location.
Don't ignore new or unusual symptoms—early action is key. Order your easy home test here or reach out to our team for more guidance.
Common causes include diabetes, high blood pressure, long-term use of certain medications, and underlying inherited conditions. Sometimes kidney problems develop with age or without an obvious reason.
You can support your kidneys by staying hydrated, moderating your salt and protein intake, staying active, and checking your blood pressure regularly. If you have chronic health conditions, ensure they're well-managed.
The kit uses a finger-prick method. You’ll receive detailed instructions, and most people find it straightforward and minimally uncomfortable. Our support team is available if you need guidance.
