For a kidney function test, a phlebotomist will visit you to collect a blood sample. A technician uses a small needle and test tube to collect a blood sample.

Dr. Bhanu Suggests...

Take a CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY - AEROBIC (CONVENTIONAL) Test or Take a COPPER - SERUM Test

I am Sudipta Paul. For the last 4 days, I have been facing swelling in my feet and ankles, and my food habits have also changed. I have tested my creatinine level, and it is high at 5.95.
