About the test
This test combines two important assessments, the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and the urine albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR), to help in the early detection of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). It aligns with the National Kidney Foundation's efforts to encourage the use of this profile for early CKD detection. Surprisingly, a study by NHANES (CDC) found that only a small percentage of individuals with reduced kidney function were aware of their condition. This test aims to increase awareness and early diagnosis of CKD.
Who might consider it:
This test is crucial for individuals at risk of CKD or those who wish to monitor their kidney health. Early detection can lead to better management of the condition.
Included biomarkers & Reference ranges
| Biomarker | Reference range |
|---|---|
| Albumin The main protein made by your liver, which helps balance fluids and carries hormones, vitamins, and medications through your blood. Low levels can point to liver, kidney, or nutrition issues. | 3.6โ5.1 g/dL |
| Creatinine A waste product from muscle metabolism, filtered by your kidneys. One of the main markers used to assess kidney function. | 0.4โ1.5 mg/dL |
| Albumin/Creatinine Ratio, Random A ratio of albumin to creatinine in a single urine sample, used to screen for and monitor early kidney damage without a 24-hour collection. | โ |
| Creatinine, Random Measures creatinine in a random urine sample, mainly used as a reference to adjust other urine results for how concentrated or dilute the sample is. | โ |
| Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate Estimated glomerular filtration rate โ a calculated estimate of how well your kidneys are filtering waste from your blood, based on creatinine and other factors. | โ |
