What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're concerned about your kidney health, especially if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of kidney disease. Many people with early kidney problems have no symptoms at all, which is why this test is often used to catch issues before they become serious. It's also a smart choice if you've noticed swelling in your legs or feet, unusual fatigue, or changes in how often you urinate.

What's included in this test?

This profile combines two key measurements that work together to give a fuller picture of kidney health than either one alone. One measurement estimates how well your kidneys filter waste from your blood, while the other checks for a specific protein in your urine that can leak out when kidney filters are damaged. Together, they help catch kidney problems early, often before you'd notice any symptoms.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account with each value's normal range clearly explained, so you can see exactly where you stand. If your numbers point to reduced kidney function, next steps might include drinking more water, cutting back on salt and processed foods, and rechecking your levels in a few months to see if they've changed. If a result comes back significantly abnormal, it's a good idea to seek medical care right away. You can download a standard lab report anytime, and the trends feature lets you track your kidney health over time.

How can I naturally support kidney health?

Drinking enough water throughout the day helps your kidneys flush out waste more efficiently. Cutting back on salty, processed foods and added sugar can ease the workload on your kidneys and help manage blood pressure and blood sugar, two of the biggest risk factors for kidney damage. Regular exercise and keeping a healthy weight also support long-term kidney function. If you smoke, quitting is one of the most impactful changes you can make for kidney health.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days after your sample is processed at the lab. You'll get a notification as soon as they're available in your account. Because this test involves both a blood draw and a urine sample, results are reported together once both parts are complete.

Who should consider this test?

This test is a good fit for anyone with diabetes or high blood pressure, since both conditions are leading causes of kidney damage. It's also worth considering if you have a family history of kidney disease, are over age 60, or take medications that can affect kidney function over time. Because early kidney disease often has no obvious symptoms, testing is the only reliable way to catch it early.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Swelling in your ankles, feet, or around your eyes can be a sign that your kidneys aren't filtering fluid properly. Feeling unusually tired, having trouble concentrating, or noticing foamy or bubbly urine are other signs worth paying attention to. Changes in how much you urinate, or urine that looks darker than usual, can also be a signal. Keep in mind many people with early kidney issues have no symptoms at all, which is why testing matters even if you feel fine.

What does a high urine albumin-creatinine ratio mean?

A higher than normal result means protein is leaking into your urine, which can happen when the tiny filters in your kidneys are damaged. This is often one of the earliest signs of kidney stress, sometimes showing up before other symptoms appear. Common causes include poorly controlled blood sugar, high blood pressure, or ongoing inflammation. Bringing blood pressure and blood sugar under better control and reducing salt intake can help improve this number over time.

What does a low eGFR mean?

A lower than normal eGFR result suggests your kidneys aren't filtering waste from your blood as efficiently as they should. This can be an early sign of chronic kidney disease, especially if it shows up alongside protein in your urine. Common contributors include high blood pressure, diabetes, dehydration, and certain medications. Simple steps like staying hydrated, eating less salt, and rechecking in a few months can help you monitor whether the trend improves or worsens.

How often should I retest?

If your results come back normal and you don't have major risk factors, retesting once a year is generally reasonable. If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or a previous abnormal result, retesting every 3 to 6 months can help you catch changes early. Your results and the trends feature can help you and your household decide on the right schedule going forward.
