ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY PANEL Test: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Cost
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a sudden and rapid decline in kidney function, resulting in the accumulation of waste products in the body. It is a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention. The AKI panel test is a diagnostic tool that helps in detecting AKI and determining its severity. In this blog, we will discuss the symptoms, diagnosis, and cost of the AKI panel test.
Symptoms of AKI
The symptoms of AKI may vary depending on the underlying cause and the severity of the condition. Some common symptoms of AKI include:
- Decreased urine output
- Fluid retention and swelling in legs, ankles, or feet
- Fatigue or weakness
- Nausea and vomiting
- Shortness of breath
- Chest pain or pressure
- Confusion or seizures
If you experience any of these symptoms, seek immediate medical attention.
Diagnosis of AKI
To diagnose AKI, your doctor may recommend the following tests:
- Blood tests: Blood tests help in measuring the level of waste products in the blood, such as creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). High levels of these waste products indicate that the kidneys are not functioning properly.
- Urine tests: Urine tests help in measuring the amount of protein and blood in the urine. High levels of protein or blood in the urine may indicate kidney damage.
- Imaging tests: Imaging tests, such as an ultrasound or CT scan, help in visualizing the kidneys and detecting any abnormalities.
- AKI panel test: The AKI panel test is a diagnostic tool that helps in detecting and determining the severity of AKI.
What is the AKI panel test?
The AKI panel test is a blood test that measures the level of various biomarkers in the blood. Biomarkers are proteins or other substances that indicate the presence of a disease or condition. The AKI panel test measures the following biomarkers:
- Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL)
- Kidney Injury Molecule-1 (KIM-1)
- L-Fatty Acid Binding Protein (L-FABP)
- Cystatin C (CysC)
The AKI panel test helps in detecting AKI early and determining its severity. Early detection and treatment of AKI can improve the chances of recovery and prevent further damage to the kidneys.
Cost of the AKI panel test
The cost of the AKI panel test in India may vary depending on the location and the laboratory where the test is conducted. On average, the cost of the AKI panel test in India is around INR 12,500. However, the cost may vary depending on the location and the laboratory where the test is conducted.
Conclusion
AKI is a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention. The AKI panel test is a diagnostic tool that helps in detecting AKI early and determining its severity. If you experience any symptoms of AKI, seek immediate medical attention and discuss the AKI panel test with your doctor.
