Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's):
1. Why do I have to fast before having this test?
The reason is because fasting for 10-12 hours helps ensure accurate measure of electrolytes (like sodium/potassium) and creatinine levels (affected by recent meals).
2. How will i know when i need this test?
Some of the indicators include swollen ankles, fatigue, frequent urination or high blood pressure which may indicate kidney problems. Diabetics/hypertension patients should do the tests annually.
3. How does it differ from a basic kidney test?
This advanced profile includes electrolytes, phosphorus, and urea ratios - crucial for detecting early damage that basic tests (only check creatinine/BUN) cannot reveal.
4. Can dehydration affect my results?
Yes, severe dehydration might elevate creatinine levels temporarily. Drink normal water during fasting but don’t overhydrate yourself prior to the test.
5. Why would you examine phosphorus levels for kidneys?
When kidneys are damaged they fail to remove excess phosphorus leading to bone/heart problems. It helps adjust treatment and monitor dialysis patients.
