### Patient: Doctor, I have been experiencing some symptoms that I think might be related to my kidneys. I feel tired all the time, my appetite has decreased, and I have noticed swelling in my feet and ankles.
### Doctor: Based on your symptoms, it is possible that you have chronic kidney disease. In order to determine if this is the case, we will need to run a series of medical tests. These tests will include hematologic tests such as a complete blood count, glucose measurement to check your blood sugar level, a urinalysis to check your kidney function, an electrolytes panel to check your body's salt and mineral levels, a lipid panel to evaluate your cholesterol levels, and a hemoglobin A1c measurement to assess your overall blood glucose control.
