Can I Do a Potassium, Sodium, Chloride or Bicarbonate Test From Home?

Potassium, Sodium, Chloride and Bicarbonate are each a type of electrolyte, commonly tested as part of a kidney function test.

As they are very sensitive markers, they require analysis immediately post-collection, to ensure accurate results can be obtained.

A first in the UK, Vitall have addressed this by providing a mobile nursing service, which includes a nurse visiting your home to collect the sample and perform key pre-processing measures. This ensures the sample remains stable and fit for analysis when sent to the laboratory.

Alternatively, you can opt to have the analysis completed at the London Patient Reception, where all collection and pre-processing are done on-site for assured sample integrity.

To take this test please purchase the kidney function test here which includes a home-nursing visit.
