Bridge the gap in CKD testing

The majority of patients at risk for CKD are not receiving the recommended testing.14,15 Guideline-based monitoring with the Quest Diagnostics Kidney Profile offers enhanced reporting that empowers primary care providers to:

Easily interpret results

Determine follow-up testing frequency

Identify risk earlier

Put your patients on a path to better health

Low risk: monitor yearly if evidence of kidney damage (eg, indicated by imaging or biopsy)

Moderately high risk: monitor yearly

High risk: monitor 2 times yearly

Very high risk: monitor 3 times yearly

Very high risk: monitor 24 times yearly

The National Kidney Foundation and Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) Initiative recommend a frequency of monitoring CKD based on Serum Creatinine with effective Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) and Urine Albumin-Creatinine Ratio (uACR).

Test Name Kidney Profile
Test Description This Profile combines 2 common tests—eGFR and uACR—to support early detection of CKD. This profile supports the National Kidney Foundation initiative to drive adoption of such protocols to facilitate appropriate test ordering to address early detection of CKD.
