About the package
Inside the Kidney / Renal Profile
A Kidney Function Test in Dubai rests on a small set of blood markers, and this profile runs five of them from one sample: creatinine, the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), uric acid and calcium. It is the panel to book when diabetes, blood pressure, family history or a long-term medicine puts the kidneys under watch.
Creatinine is the waste your muscles make and your kidneys clear, so it climbs as filtration falls. The eGFR puts that value on a filtration scale: an estimate of how much blood your kidneys clear each minute, adjusted for age and sex, so the same creatinine reads differently at thirty and seventy. The estimate carries creatinine's own limitation: unusually high or low muscle mass skews it. BUN comes from protein breakdown and moves with hydration and diet as well as with kidney clearance, so the two are read together; the report adds the BUN/creatinine ratio at no extra cost, which helps separate simple dehydration from a kidney problem. Uric acid is cleared by the same organ and explains gout and some kidney stones, while calcium is here because kidney disease disturbs the body's calcium balance well before symptoms show.
No fasting is needed: eat and drink as normal, and keep to your usual water intake, since dehydration shifts both urea and creatinine. Avoid a heavy gym session the day before, which can lift creatinine on its own. A DHA-licensed phlebotomist takes one blood sample at your home or office anywhere in Dubai, free of charge, 7 days a week, or you can come to the lab. The physician-reviewed Smart Report typically follows within 24 hours.
Kidney function is judged over time rather than from one reading. A reduced eGFR has to persist for around three months before it is described as chronic kidney disease, and short dips follow dehydration, illness or a new medicine. Your doctor reads the panel alongside your blood pressure, blood sugar and a urine protein check, and may repeat it weeks later.

How it works
From booking to answers in a few days
- 1
Book without preparing
No fasting and no diet change, so any slot in the day works. Choose a home or office visit anywhere in Dubai, 7 days a week, or a lab appointment if that suits you better.
- 2
Drink water as usual
Hydration shifts urea and creatinine, so keep to your normal fluid intake rather than loading up or going dry, and skip an unusually hard workout the day before your sample.
- 3
One short blood draw
All five markers come from a single serum tube taken by a DHA-licensed phlebotomist. There is no urine sample in this package and nothing to collect in advance.
- 4
Filtration in one figure
Your Smart Report shows creatinine, urea, uric acid and calcium with the eGFR and the calculated BUN/creatinine ratio, each against its reference range and reviewed by a physician.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Five blood markers: creatinine, the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), uric acid and calcium, plus the calculated BUN/creatinine ratio.
The eGFR converts creatinine onto a filtration scale using your age and sex, so the same creatinine value is read differently in a woman of thirty and a man of seventy. It remains an estimate: because it is calculated from creatinine, unusually high or low muscle mass still skews it.
Dehydration, a high-protein or heavy meat intake, intense exercise, bleeding in the gut and several common medicines all move these numbers. That is why the ratio between them, and a repeat sample, often matter more than a single raised value.
Swelling in the ankles, face or hands, a change in how often or how much you pass urine, foamy urine, persistent tiredness, or a rising blood pressure. Early kidney disease frequently causes none of these, which is why screening is worthwhile.
Uric acid leaves the body mainly through the kidneys, so it accumulates when clearance drops. It is also the substance behind gout and behind urate kidney stones, which makes it useful to anyone with joint attacks or a stone history.
Failing kidneys disturb the balance of calcium, phosphate and vitamin D long before symptoms appear, so calcium is a standard companion to the filtration markers. It also flags parathyroid problems that have nothing to do with the kidneys.
It is the right starting point, since both conditions damage kidneys quietly. Ask your doctor whether to add a urine microalbumin test, which picks up protein leaking into urine earlier than blood markers shift.
No. Chronic kidney disease is defined by a reduced filtration rate that persists for around three months, so a single low eGFR is a prompt to repeat the test rather than a conclusion. Your doctor interprets it with your history and medicines.
No fasting is required. Eat and drink normally before your appointment and keep your usual fluid intake, because being dehydrated raises urea and creatinine and makes the panel harder to read. Take prescribed medicines as usual.

NAZNEEN SETHNAYesterday I visited Intel Lab for my blood test and had an excellent experience. The staff were professional, polite, and very supportive. The process was quick, clean, and well organized. I received my results on time without any hassle. I highly recommend Intel Lab for reliable medical services.
Adil AfridiI had my full OGTT done at Intel Lab and had a great experience. The employees were very friendly, welcoming, and accommodating throughout the process. They explained each step clearly, which really helped ease my nerves. They also took my blood sample very carefully, especially since I’m afraid of needles, which I truly appreciated. Everything was handled professionally and smoothly. Highly recommended!
