Information

Medical comment included

With us, you will always receive a doctor’s opinion from a licensed physician when you order a medical check-up that includes a medical opinion. The doctor’s opinion includes an overall assessment of your results from laboratory analysis. The opinion is individual and may vary depending on the specific tests your medical check-up includes.

What can I expect in the medical report?

The medical opinion will summarize the results of your test results to give you an assessment of your health including any abnormalities outside the reference ranges. In case of abnormalities or need, your doctor may also contact you for a free conversation to explain and talk about your results. Remember that a health check always includes specific test results based on your health and your personal circumstances. Values outside the reference range should therefore always be discussed with a doctor before any decisions regarding possible treatment are made.

What does the doctor look at during a health check?

When assessing a blood test or health check, your doctor will look at several different parameters to evaluate your health and identify any abnormalities. Below are some common aspects your doctor may examine:

Blood counts: Your doctor will check red, white and platelet counts to identify any signs of anaemia, infection or bleeding.

Nutrients and biochemical markers: Includes, for example, analysis and monitoring of blood sugar (glucose) levels, electrolyte levels (e.g. sodium, potassium), liver function tests (e.g. liver enzymes), kidney function tests (e.g. creatinine, urea) and lipid profile (e.g. cholesterol, triglycerides). The results of the tests give your doctor a better idea of your organ function, blood sugar level, cholesterol conditions and other important health aspects.

Inflammatory markers: Your doctor may measure health markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP) or red blood cell decrease rate (SR) to evaluate inflammatory conditions or confirm an active infection.

Hormone levels: Your doctor may monitor your hormone levels to assess hormonal imbalances or diseases, such as thyroid hormones (TSH, T3, T4), sex hormones or other specific hormones such as testosterone levels.

Specific tests: Depending on your goal of your health check or medical history, your doctor may look into specific tests to investigate conditions or diseases, such as diabetes, vitamin deficiency or autoimmune diseases.

In conclusion, the doctor weighs all test results based on the health check to assess your overall health, detect any abnormalities and identify possible underlying medical conditions.

What happens if I have abnormal test results?

If your blood count is abnormal, this will be addressed in your personal medical opinion. Depending on the nature and extent of the abnormality, your doctor may also contact you directly through the test result service for further guidance. Various measures and advice will be provided based on the specific abnormalities observed along with your medical history.

Health check The kidney test, is designed to offer you a comprehensive insight into your kidney function and salt balance, especially if you suspect or are worried about kidney failure. The kidneys are important organs that play a crucial role in cleaning the blood of waste products and regulating the fluid balance in the body through the production of urine. The kidney test includes analyzes of several markers related to your kidney function, including eGFR (cystatin C), creatinine, sodium, cystatin C, albumin, phosphate, chloride, calcium and potassium to ensure a thorough assessment of your kidney health.

Why should I choose the kidney scan?

The kidneys perform critical functions in the body, and suspected kidney failure requires extra attention. With Njurkollen, you can quickly detect potential abnormalities at an early stage, which is crucial for taking immediate action and promoting long-term kidney health.

Medical report included

In connection with the Kidney Checkup, a personal medical report is included where a licensed physician carefully reviews your test results and makes a medical assessment of your kidney function. The report helps you understand what your values ​​mean in practice and whether there are signs of impaired kidney function, fluid imbalance or other abnormalities that should be followed up further. If necessary, you will also receive recommendations regarding lifestyle, further testing or referral to specialist care for a more comprehensive investigation.

For those who suspect kidney failure, the Kidney scan provides a deeper understanding of kidney function. By analyzing markers such as eGFR (cystatin C) and creatinine, we offer molecular insight that helps you make informed decisions about your health, regardless of your current situation. When the kidneys fail, they lose their ability to effectively cleanse the body of harmful substances and excess fluid. Normally, these substances and excess fluid would be eliminated through the urine, but in kidney failure this process is disrupted.

The kidney check extends beyond a regular kidney check by including a detailed analysis of sodium, chloride, calcium and potassium. This comprehensive salt balance analysis provides a comprehensive picture of your body function and supports the optimization of fluid and electrolyte balance - an important aspect in the management of kidney failure.

Where are the kidneys?

The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs located in the lower back above the waist. The kidneys sit on each side of the spine and are part of the upper abdominal cavity. Normally, the right kidney is slightly lower than the left, due to the position of the liver on the right side of the body.

Check the kidneys for back pain?

In some cases, especially with kidney inflammation or kidney stones, there may be pain in the back or flank, which is the area between the ribs and the hip on the side of the back where the kidneys sit. It is important to note that pain is not always a clear symptom of kidney failure, especially in the early stages where a check of your kidney values can be used as a preventative measure. If you suspect problems with your kidneys or experience any of these symptoms, it is best to seek medical help for a proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

The kidneys are vital organs that filter the blood, regulate fluid balance, and remove waste products through urine. They play a central role in blood pressure regulation, electrolyte balance, and the production of hormones that affect blood formation and calcium metabolism. Renal markers are analyzed to assess kidney function and detect early signs of kidney disease. They can provide important information about filtration capacity, fluid balance, and any effects on the kidneys.

CL
Chloride
Chloride is an electrolyte that is important for normal cell function and regulation of fluid and salt balance in the body. It is part of the stomach's hydrochloric acid and contributes to food digestion.

CR
Creatinine
Creatinine is formed in your muscles when the body breaks down creatine phosphate (the muscles' energy reserve). The kidneys' job is to filter creatinine.

CYS
Cystatin C
Cystatin C is a protein produced by all cells in the body and filtered by the kidneys. Measuring cystatin C levels can give an indication of kidney function.

EGF
eGFR Cystatin C
eGFR is a marker of kidney function, a low eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) may indicate impaired kidney function.

K
Potassium
Potassium is an important mineral for body function, especially for muscle cells. A small part of the total amount of potassium is found in body fluids, and when the potassium level is measured, it is measured in the fluid around the blood cells.

The liver is a vital organ that plays a central role in metabolism, detoxification and energy storage. It produces enzymes and proteins that are important for digestion, blood clotting and immune function. Liver markers are analyzed in the blood to assess the health and function of the liver. They can provide important information about liver damage, inflammation and disease states.

ALB
Albumin
Albumin is a protein from the liver that keeps fluid in the bloodstream. In kidney disease, albumin can leak into the urine, resulting in lower albumin levels in the blood and swelling of the body. Low albumin can also indicate poor nutritional status.

Vitamins and minerals are essential nutrients that the body needs to maintain normal function, energy metabolism and immune function. They play a central role in everything from blood formation and bone health to hormone production and nerve function. Vitamin and mineral analyses are performed on the blood to identify any deficiencies or imbalances. They can provide important information about nutritional status and help optimize health through personalized dietary and supplement recommendations.

CA
Calcium
Calcium is important for muscles, nerves and heart. We get calcium from dairy products, leafy vegetables and nuts. Vegetarians and vegans can get added calcium from alternatives to milk.
