There are many different conditions that can impact kidney function such as high blood pressure, diabetes, infection, kidney stones, pregnancy, and autoimmune disorders. Reduced kidney function can result in the build-up of waste products and fluids in the body, and electrolyte imbalance.  The signs and symptoms of kidney disease are often nonspecific, meaning they may be caused by other conditions and so don't immediately point to a problem with the kidneys. Symptoms, which may not show up until irreversible damage has already occurred, may include nausea\/vomiting, loss of appetite, fatigue and weakness, sleep problems, urinating more or less, decreased mental sharpness, muscle cramps, swelling of feet and ankles, dry and itchy skin, or high blood pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSample type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Blood\/urine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTurn around time\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 week\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMore info\u003c\/strong\u003e: Refer to individual tests for specific details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pathlab","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42653440901180,"sku":"","price":105.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/1594\/8092\/files\/anton-nikolov-MYx68dycksY-unsplash.jpg?v=1742336707"},{"product_id":"liver-health","title":"Liver Health (PLH)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal protein\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlbumin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlobulins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal bilirubin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConjugated bilirubin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eALP (alkaline phosphatase)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGGT (gamma-glutamyl transferase)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eALT (alanine transaminase)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAST (aspartate aminotransferase)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLDH (lactate dehydrogenase)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe liver plays an essential role in the body, cleaning the blood by filtering out waste and toxins, and producing digestive enzymes that are needed for digestion of food.
