The Urea & Electrolytes Profile (often called a U&E test) is a simple but important blood test that checks kidney function and measures the levels of essential minerals in your body. These markers are vital for maintaining fluid balance, muscle activity, nerve function, and overall health.
At Vitalync Diagnosis, you can book this test privately at over 120+ UK clinic locations with fast turnaround times and results delivered securely to your inbox.
The U&E Profile measures substances in your blood that reflect how well your kidneys are working and whether your electrolyte levels are within a healthy range.
The test typically includes:
Urea – a waste product filtered by the kidneys. High levels may indicate kidney problems or dehydration.
Creatinine – a key marker of kidney function and waste clearance.
Sodium (Na) – essential for fluid balance and blood pressure control.
Potassium (K) – important for muscle contraction and heart rhythm.
Chloride (Cl) – helps maintain acid–base balance in the body.
Your kidneys and electrolytes play a vital role in your health. Imbalances or abnormal results may point to:
Kidney disease or impaired function
Dehydration or overhydration
High blood pressure or heart problems
Side effects from medication such as diuretics, ACE inhibitors, or chemotherapy
Unexplained symptoms including fatigue, swelling, or muscle weakness
A U&E Profile may be recommended for:
People with high blood pressure, diabetes, or cardiovascular disease
Patients with a history of kidney disease or reduced kidney function
Those on long-term medications affecting the kidneys or fluid balance
Individuals with symptoms such as fatigue, swelling, confusion, or dehydration
Anyone wanting a general health check to assess kidney and electrolyte status
