What This Test Involves
This is not a traditional lab test performed on blood, urine, or other bodily fluids. Instead, it involves reviewing your medical records and ICD-10 codes documented in your electronic health history to identify conditions associated with end-stage renal disease (e.g., diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease).
Why It Matters for Kidney Health
End-stage renal disease often comes with other health problems. This review helps your healthcare team understand the full picture of your health, ensuring you receive comprehensive care for both kidney issues and related conditions.
How It’s Used in Care
Your doctor may use this assessment to adjust treatments, monitor for complications, or plan for advanced care options like dialysis or transplantation. It helps ensure you’re getting the best possible support for managing both kidney disease and its related health needs.
What to Expect Before the Test
You won’t need to prepare for this test in the same way as a blood or urine test. Your doctor or healthcare team will review your medical records and ICD-10 codes, which are already part of your electronic health file. No special actions are required on your part.
Clinical interpretation
How abnormal results are interpreted and what conditions they suggest.

Frequently asked questions
This assessment helps identify conditions like diabetes, heart disease, or infections that may worsen kidney function or require special management. It also ensures your care team is aware of all relevant health factors to provide coordinated, effective treatment.
This test is based on your existing medical records and ICD-10 codes, so it won’t show new results unless your doctor documents new conditions or changes in your health status.
If you have concerns about this test, discuss them with your healthcare provider. They can clarify how the review fits into your care plan and address any questions you have about related conditions.
