The Renal Function Panel Test measures blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, sodium, potassium, chloride, carbon dioxide, calcium, phosphorus, albumin, and glucose to evaluate kidney health. Abnormal results may indicate kidney disease, dehydration, or metabolic imbalance. Doctors use this panel to monitor chronic kidney disease (CKD), assess electrolyte balance, and guide treatment decisions. It provides vital insight into renal function and overall metabolic health.
Measures kidney function by using creatinine and cystatin C to calculate the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), helping provide a more complete assessment of kidney health and renal filtration.
The ADMA and SDMA Test measures asymmetric and symmetric dimethylarginine, biomarkers of nitric oxide metabolism and endothelial function. Elevated levels are linked to cardiovascular disease, kidney dysfunction, and metabolic disorders. Doctors order this test to assess vascular health, kidney function, or cardiovascular risk. Results provide critical insight into endothelial damage, early detection of disease, and guidance for preventive or therapeutic strategies.
The Calcium 24 Hour Urine with Creatinine Test evaluates calcium excretion alongside creatinine to provide insight into kidney health, mineral balance, and bone metabolism. Elevated or low calcium may reflect kidney stones, parathyroid disease, osteoporosis, or metabolic disorders. This test supports monitoring of calcium regulation, renal function, and systemic conditions linked to skeletal health.
The Albumin Creatinine Ratio Timed Urine Test measures albumin and creatinine levels in a timed urine sample to evaluate kidney function. Elevated albumin excretion can indicate early kidney damage, diabetic nephropathy, or hypertension-related disease. By analyzing the albumin-to-creatinine ratio, this test provides insight into kidney filtration, urinary protein loss, and overall renal health monitoring.
The Albumin Timed Urine Test measures albumin levels excreted during a set time period to evaluate kidney function and detect early protein loss. Elevated results may indicate diabetic nephropathy, hypertension-related damage, or glomerular disease. This test supports monitoring of renal health, guiding detection of microalbuminuria and helping assess risks of chronic kidney disease or cardiovascular complications.
The BUN Creatinine Ratio Test compares blood urea nitrogen (BUN) to creatinine levels to assess kidney function and hydration status. A high ratio may indicate dehydration, gastrointestinal bleeding, or high protein intake, while a low ratio can suggest liver disease or malnutrition. Doctors order this test with kidney panels to evaluate fatigue, swelling, or abnormal lab results. Results help diagnose renal issues and guide treatment planning.
The Albumin 24 Hour Urine with Creatinine Test measures albumin and creatinine excretion over 24 hours to evaluate kidney function. Elevated albumin (albuminuria) may signal early kidney disease, diabetes-related damage, or hypertension. By comparing albumin to creatinine, this test accounts for urine concentration and improves accuracy. Doctors use it to detect kidney injury, monitor chronic disease, and guide treatment or prevention strategies.
The Albumin Random Urine Test measures the amount of albumin, a protein that can leak into urine when the kidneys are damaged. Elevated levels may indicate early kidney disease, often linked to diabetes, hypertension, or other chronic conditions. Doctors use this test to detect albuminuria, monitor kidney function, and guide treatment strategies. A random urine sample makes it a convenient tool for screening and long-term kidney health assessment.
The Creatinine Random Urine Test measures creatinine levels in a single urine sample to help assess kidney function and filtration efficiency. Abnormal results may indicate kidney disease, dehydration, muscle disorders, or impaired renal clearance. Doctors use this test alone or with protein testing to evaluate kidney health, monitor chronic conditions, and guide treatment strategies for patients with suspected renal or metabolic disorders.
The Cystatin C Test with eGFR measures blood levels of Cystatin C, a protein filtered by the kidneys, and calculates estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). This test provides a sensitive marker for kidney function and can detect early kidney disease, even when creatinine levels are normal. Doctors order it to evaluate chronic kidney disease risk, monitor treatment, and assess overall kidney health in patients with diabetes, hypertension, or other conditions.
The Erythropoietin (EPO) Test measures levels of erythropoietin, a hormone made by the kidneys that stimulates red blood cell production. Abnormal levels may indicate anemia, chronic kidney disease, or bone marrow disorders. Elevated EPO can also occur with low oxygen levels or tumors. Doctors order this test for patients with unexplained fatigue, shortness of breath, or abnormal blood counts. Results help guide diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of anemia-related conditions.
The Hemoglobin Free Urine Test measures the presence of free hemoglobin in urine, which may indicate intravascular hemolysis or red blood cell destruction. Detecting hemoglobinuria helps evaluate kidney filtration, hemolytic anemia, and related conditions. This test aids in identifying underlying causes of hemolysis, such as transfusion reactions, infections, or mechanical red cell damage.
The Protein Total 24 Hour Urine Test measures total protein excreted in urine over a full day to evaluate kidney function and detect proteinuria. Elevated protein may indicate glomerular disease, nephrotic syndrome, diabetes, or hypertension-related damage. This test helps assess renal health, monitor progression of kidney disorders, and provide context for diagnosing systemic conditions affecting protein balance.
The Protein Total Serum Test evaluates total protein concentration, reflecting both albumin and globulin, which play key roles in immune response, liver function, and nutrient transport. Abnormal findings may signal malnutrition, kidney or liver disease, or chronic inflammatory conditions. This test aids in assessing protein metabolism, systemic health, and overall physiological balance.
The Creatinine Clearance Test measures how effectively the kidneys filter creatinine from blood into urine, providing an estimate of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). This test requires both a blood sample and a 24-hour urine collection. Abnormal results may indicate kidney disease, reduced renal function, or dehydration. Doctors use this test to assess kidney performance, monitor chronic conditions, and guide treatment for renal disorders.
