A kidney checkup package at Medicover Hospitals, Vizianagaram, is a comprehensive health screening program specifically focusing on kidney health. This package includes various tests like USG abdomen with pelvis, serum albumin, fasting blood glucose, serum uric acid, serum calcium, alkaline phosphatase, total proteins A/g ratio, serum cholesterol, urine analysis for microalbumin, serum electrolytes, and serum phosphorus.
These tests help assess kidney function and detect any abnormalities early, which is crucial for preventing serious complications associated with kidney disease. Early detection allows for timely intervention and management, particularly important for individuals with risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, family history of kidney disease, or those taking medications that can affect kidney function.
Normal range: 7 to 20 mg/dL (may vary by laboratory)
Measure the amount of nitrogen in the blood that comes from urea, a waste product of protein metabolism. Elevated levels may indicate kidney dysfunction or dehydration.
Serum Creatinine
Normal range: 0.6 to 1.3 mg/dL for adult males; 0.5 to 1.1 mg/dL for adult females (may vary by laboratory)
Reflects the kidney's ability to filter creatinine from the blood. Elevated levels may indicate impaired kidney function.
Serum Potassium
Normal range: 3.5 to 5.0 mmol/L (may vary by laboratory)
Electrolyte are involved in nerve and muscle function. Abnormal levels can affect heart rhythm and other vital functions.
Serum Uric Acid
Normal range: 3.4 to 7.0 mg/dL for adult males; 2.4 to 6.0 mg/dL for adult females (may vary by laboratory)
Waste products formed from the breakdown of purines. Elevated levels may indicate gout, kidney disease, or other health conditions.
Serum Calcium
Normal range: 8.5 to 10.5 mg/dL (may vary by laboratory)
Important for bone health, nerve function, and muscle contraction. Abnormal levels can indicate various health conditions.
Serum Phosphorus
Normal range: 2.5 to 4.5 mg/dL (may vary by laboratory)
Essential for bone health, energy metabolism, and cell membrane function. Abnormal levels can indicate kidney disease, bone disorders, or other health issues.
Serum Electrolytes
Varies depending on the electrolyte being measured
Measure the levels of electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate in the blood.
GFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate)
Normal range: >90 mL/min/1.73m²
Calculated using MDRD equation. It reflects the rate at which the kidneys filter waste products from the blood.
Purpose and normal values of Complete Blood Picture (CBP):
Blood component
Normal range
Purpose
White blood cells(WBC)
4500-11,000/mm3
Measures the number of white blood cells per microliter (thousand/mcL). Indicates immune system function and helps diagnose infections and inflammatory conditions.
Red blood cells (RBC)
Male: 4.3-5.9 million/mm3
Measures the number of red blood cells per microliter (million/mcL). Indicates oxygen-carrying capacity and helps diagnose anaemia and other blood disorders.
Hemoglobin (HGB)
Male: 13.5-17.5 g/dL
Measures the amount of hemoglobin in the blood, which carries oxygen.
Hematocrit (HT)
Male: 41%-53%
Measures the percentage of the blood that is made up of red blood cells. Indicates blood volume and helps diagnose anaemia and dehydration.
Mean corpuscular volume (MCV)
80-100 µm3
Measures the average volume of a red blood cell. Helps classify anaemia into different types (microcytic, normocytic, or macrocytic).
Mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH)
25.4-34.6 pg/cell
Measures the average amount of hemoglobin per red blood cell. Helps diagnose different types of anemia.
Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC)
31%-36% Hb/cell
Measures the average concentration of hemoglobin in red blood cells. Helps diagnose different types of anemia.
Platelets
150,000-400,000/mm3
Measures the number of platelets per microliter (thousand/mcL). Important for blood clotting and helps diagnose bleeding disorders.
Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW)
11.5% - 14.5%
Measures the variability in the size of red blood cells (RBCs) in a blood sample.
Please note that the values may vary depending on age, gender, and other factors. Always consult with a healthcare professional to evaluate your test results.

Purpose and Normal values of Other tests
Test
Typical Values
Purpose
Serum Albumin
Normal range: 3.5 to 5.0 g/dL (may vary by laboratory)
Main protein in blood plasma, important for maintaining osmotic pressure and transporting substances in the blood.
Alkaline Phosphatase
Normal range: 44 to 147 IU/L (may vary by laboratory)
Enzyme found in various tissues, including the liver, bones, and kidneys. Elevated levels may indicate liver or bone disorders.
Total Proteins
Normal range: 6.0 to 8.0 g/dL (may vary by laboratory)
Measure the total amount of protein in the blood, including albumin and globulins.
A/G Ratio (Albumin/Globulin Ratio)
Normal range: 1.2 to 2.2 (may vary by laboratory)
The ratio of albumin to globulins in the blood can help assess liver or kidney function, immune system health, and other conditions.
Serum Cholesterol
Normal range: <200 mg/dL
Measure the amount of cholesterol in the blood. High levels may increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Fasting Blood Glucose (FBS)
Normal range: 70 to 100 mg/dL (may vary by laboratory)
Measure the amount of glucose (sugar) in the blood after an overnight fast. Elevated levels may indicate diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance.
ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate)
Normal range: 0 to 20 mm/hr (may vary by laboratory)
Measure the rate at which red blood cells settle in a tube over time. Elevated levels may indicate inflammation or infection.
Urine for Microalbumin
Normal range: <30 mg/24 hours
Measure the amount of albumin (a type of protein) in the urine. Used to detect early signs of kidney damage in individuals with diabetes or hypertension.
USG (Ultrasonography) Abdomen with Pelvis
Imaging findings interpreted by a radiologist
Imaging technique used to visualize internal structures in the abdomen and pelvis, including organs such as the liver, kidneys, gallbladder, pancreas, and reproductive organs.
