Kidney & Urinary Health Check

Comprehensive Kidney & Urinary Health Evaluation

This thorough evaluation of your kidney and urinary health identifies potential issues early, enabling informed decisions with professional medical guidance. Euca MD offers timely and convenient testing across Australia, providing crucial health insights without unnecessary delays.

What is a Kidney & Urinary Health Check?

A Kidney & Urinary Health Check offers a complete assessment of kidney function and the urinary system. It includes non-invasive imaging, blood, and urine tests to assess how well your kidneys are filtering waste and to detect abnormalities. We offer bladder cancer screening via urine cytology, and for males, a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test to check for prostate cancer. The assessment also includes renal ultrasound, serum creatinine, Cystatin C, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), urinalysis, and urine albumin-creatinine ratio (uACR).

Benefits of a Kidney & Urinary Health Check

The Kidney & Urinary Health Check provides several important benefits:

• Early Detection: Screening for conditions like bladder and prostate cancer, kidney disease, and urinary tract infections, allowing for prompt treatment.
• Personalized Health Advice: Our doctors provide tailored recommendations based on test results, which may include further investigations, lifestyle modifications, or specialist referrals.

Who Should Consider a Kidney & Urinary Health Check?

This health check is beneficial for:

• Healthy Individuals: Those seeking routine checks to ensure their kidney and urinary health are in optimal condition, even without symptoms.
• High-Risk Individuals: People with diabetes, hypertension, or a family history of kidney or urinary conditions should undergo regular monitoring.
• Men Concerned about Prostate Health: Men over 50 or with a family history of prostate cancer should consider regular PSA tests.
• Those with Symptoms: Individuals experiencing urinary discomfort, frequent urination, or blood in the urine may benefit from a comprehensive assessment.

What Does the Kidney & Urinary Health Check Include?

The Kidney & Urinary Health Check includes the following tests:

• Urine Cytology: Microscopic examination of urine to detect abnormal cells, which may indicate bladder cancer or other urinary conditions.
• Renal Ultrasound: Non-invasive imaging to assess the kidneys for abnormalities like cysts, stones, or blockage.
• Serum Creatinine: A blood test to measure creatinine, a waste product filtered by the kidneys. Elevated levels suggest impaired kidney function.
• Cystatin C: A blood test used to evaluate kidney function, providing a more accurate assessment of your glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
• Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR): A calculated estimate of how well your kidneys filter blood based on creatinine levels and other factors.
• Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN): A blood test to measure urea levels, which can indicate how well your kidneys are functioning.
• Urinalysis: Examines urine for signs of infection, blood, or other abnormalities that may indicate kidney or urinary tract issues.
• Urine Albumin-Creatinine Ratio (uACR): Measures albumin levels in urine, which can signal early kidney damage.
• PSA Test (For Males): A blood test to measure prostate-specific antigen levels, helping to detect prostate conditions like cancer or inflammation.

Procedure

The Kidney & Urinary Health Check involves non-invasive tests. A renal ultrasound is painless, with a technician using a handheld device to capture kidney images. Blood tests (serum creatinine, Cystatin C, BUN, eGFR, and PSA for males) are performed via standard blood draws, which take a few minutes. Urinalysis, uACR, and urine cytology involve providing a urine sample, giving a full picture of kidney and urinary health.

Results

The test results will be available within seven business days. Our collaborating labs and radiology practices will provide detailed reports that will be reviewed by our doctors. During your follow-up consultation, we will discuss the findings and provide recommendations for further investigation, lifestyle changes, or specialist referrals as needed.

Important Considerations

While this health check provides valuable insights, it has limitations. For example, a renal ultrasound can detect structural issues but does not measure kidney function directly. Blood and urine tests, like eGFR and uACR, need to be interpreted in context. False positives or negatives are possible, and additional testing may be required.
