What This Test Measures
Your blood sample will be tested for a panel of biomarkers that reflect kidney function, including proteins and substances that may indicate kidney damage, fluid balance, or other renal conditions. The test uses immunoassay methods to detect these analytes with high sensitivity. Some tests may also measure electrolytes indirectly through related markers.
Why This Test Might Be Ordered
A doctor may recommend this test if you have symptoms like swelling, fatigue, frequent urination, or if they suspect kidney problems. It’s also used in routine check-ups for high-risk patients (e.g., those with diabetes, hypertension, or a family history of kidney disease).
Sample Collection and Preparation
You’ll provide a blood sample, usually drawn from a vein in your arm. The sample is processed to separate serum or plasma for testing. No special preparation is needed, but fasting may be required for some related tests within this panel.
Test Results and Interpretation
Results are compared to standard ranges for your age, sex, and health status. Abnormal levels may signal kidney issues, infections, or other health concerns. Your doctor will discuss findings with you.
Reference range
Adult males: 4.2-5.9; Females: 3.8-5.1 x 10^12/LN/A
No special preparation required. Stay well hydrated.
Clinical interpretation
How abnormal results are interpreted and what conditions they suggest.
This confirmatory panel helps diagnose or monitor kidney disease, track progression of conditions like chronic kidney disease, or guide treatment decisions. Elevated or low levels of certain biomarkers can indicate kidney strain, fluid retention, or metabolic imbalances that require medical attention.
Short name
