Kidney Health: Blood and Urine Screening in Las Vegas
Prevention, Not Just Reaction
Kidney Health: Your Body’s Natural Filtration System, Optimized
We know that your kidneys do more than just produce urine—they are essential to life, longevity, and overall balance in your body. These two powerful organs act as highly intelligent blood filters, quietly working every day to eliminate toxins, regulate vital minerals, balance fluids, and even support your bones, blood pressure, and red blood cell production.
Kidney damage often progresses without early warning signs, which is why proactive testing and early detection are critical. Our advanced screening protocols are designed to catch dysfunction before it becomes irreversible—empowering you to protect your kidney health for decades to come.
Why Your Kidneys Matter
Your kidneys are involved in:
-
Filtering waste and harmful metabolites from the bloodstream
-
Regulating salt, fluid, and electrolyte balance
-
Helping control blood pressure
-
Activating Vitamin D for bone and immune health
-
Producing erythropoietin, a hormone that stimulates red blood cell production
Many chronic conditions—including diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and autoimmune disorders—can slowly degrade kidney function. Early screening is your best defense.
Blood-Based Kidney Screening
Our comprehensive kidney panel includes:
-
Creatinine & eGFR – core indicators of filtration capacity
-
BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen) – measures waste buildup in the blood
-
Electrolyte levels – to assess salt and fluid regulation
-
Vitamin D status – kidneys play a role in activating this hormone
-
Complete blood count (CBC) – to assess red blood cell production
-
Cystatin C (optional advanced marker) – a more sensitive measure of kidney performance
These values allow us to evaluate how efficiently your kidneys are clearing waste, and whether other organs like the heart and liver may also be affected.
Advanced Urine Testing
Our urine screening is far more than a basic dipstick. We assess:
-
Signs of urinary tract infections (UTIs)
-
Protein or glucose in the urine – early signs of kidney or metabolic stress
-
Microscopic hematuria – which could signal infection, kidney stones, or even early cancer
-
Muscle breakdown markers (e.g., myoglobin, creatinine ratios)
We also offer next-generation urine microbiome testing, which:
-
Detects a wide range of bacterial, fungal, and viral organisms
-
Analyzes biofilms that make infections difficult to eradicate
-
Provides data on antimicrobial resistance, guiding effective treatment
This comprehensive view helps us address recurrent infections, bladder discomfort, and inflammation more precisely and effectively.
Who Should Get Screened?
You should consider kidney testing if you:
-
Have a personal or family history of high blood pressure or diabetes
-
Experience fatigue, swelling, or urinary issues
-
Take medications that may impact kidney function
-
Want to track how your kidneys are aging over time
