Bloom Kidney Test
The Bloom Kidney Test measures your cystatin C level, a well-established indicator of kidney function. The testing process only takes a few minutes and needs just a drop of blood.
The product is intended for healthcare professional use.
Cystatin C
The measured cystatin C value is used to estimate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which represents how well your kidneys filter blood. At a normal level, cystatin C indicates that your kidneys are functioning well, while a high level indicates an imbalance.
Symptoms
Symptoms of low kidney function are often unspecific. They include:
- Itching
- Vomiting
- Swollen legs
- Nausea
- Loss of appetite
- Fatigue, weakness
- Sleep problems
- More or less urination than usual
- Muscle cramps
The Bloom Kidney Test can check if those symptoms might be related to your kidney function.
