Renal Function Panel (Kidney Test)

Kidney Panel

A comprehensive 11-biomarker panel that evaluates kidney health by measuring waste filtration, electrolyte balance, and mineral levels.

The Renal Function Panel provides a thorough assessment of your kidney health and function. Your kidneys filter about 200 quarts of blood daily, removing waste products and excess fluids while maintaining critical electrolyte and mineral balance.

This panel measures key markers of kidney filtration (creatinine, BUN, eGFR), electrolyte balance (sodium, potassium, chloride, CO2), and mineral status (calcium, phosphorus). Together, these markers reveal how efficiently your kidneys are working.

Kidney disease is often called a "silent disease" because it can progress without symptoms until significant damage occurs. Approximately 1 in 7 Americans has chronic kidney disease, and many don't know it. Regular kidney testing is especially important if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of kidney disease.

What This Test Measures

This panel measures 11 biomarkers: Creatinine and BUN assess waste filtration. eGFR (estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate) calculates overall kidney function. Electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride, CO2) show fluid and acid-base balance. Calcium, phosphorus, and albumin round out the mineral and protein assessment.

Who Should Consider This Test

People with diabetes or high blood pressure, those taking medications that affect kidneys (NSAIDs, certain blood pressure medications), individuals with family history of kidney disease, those with frequent urinary symptoms, and anyone wanting a baseline kidney health assessment.

Understanding Your Results

Normal ranges: Creatinine 0.7-1.3 mg/dL (men), 0.6-1.1 mg/dL (women). BUN 7-20 mg/dL. eGFR >90 mL/min is normal, 60-89 is mildly decreased, <60 may indicate chronic kidney disease. Electrolyte imbalances may indicate dehydration or kidney dysfunction.
