Kidney Panel Extended Test – Comprehensive Renal Health Assessment
Understanding Kidney Health and Function
The kidneys are vital organs responsible for filtering waste products from the blood, regulating electrolyte balance, maintaining proper fluid levels, and producing hormones that control blood pressure and red blood cell production. The Kidney Panel Extended Test provides a comprehensive evaluation of these critical functions, offering valuable insights into your renal health status and potential early warning signs of kidney disorders.
What Does the Kidney Panel Extended Test Measure?
This advanced diagnostic panel evaluates 12 essential biomarkers that collectively provide a complete picture of kidney function and overall metabolic health:
Primary Kidney Function Markers
- Urea – Measures waste product from protein metabolism
- Creatinine – Assesses kidney filtration efficiency
- Uric Acid – Evaluates purine metabolism and gout risk
- Protein Total & Albumin – Monitors protein levels and nutritional status
- A:G Ratio – Calculates albumin to globulin ratio for immune function assessment
Electrolyte and Mineral Balance
- Electrolytes Panel – Sodium, potassium, chloride for fluid balance
- Bicarbonate – Assesses acid-base balance
- Calcium & Phosphorus – Monitors bone and mineral metabolism
Metabolic Function Indicators
- Alkaline Phosphatase – Evaluates liver and bone health
- Glucose – Screens for diabetes and metabolic disorders

Symptoms of Potential Kidney Issues
- Persistent fatigue and weakness
- Swelling in hands, feet, or around eyes
- Changes in urination patterns (frequency, color, or volume)

At only $44 USD, this comprehensive panel provides exceptional value compared to ordering individual tests separately, making regular kidney health monitoring affordable and accessible.
Understanding Your Test Results
Normal Range Interpretation
Results within normal ranges typically indicate healthy kidney function, proper electrolyte balance, and normal metabolic activity. However, even normal results should be discussed with your healthcare provider in the context of your overall health profile.
Abnormal Findings and Next Steps
Elevated creatinine and urea levels may suggest reduced kidney filtration capacity. Abnormal electrolyte levels could indicate imbalances requiring dietary or medical intervention. Your healthcare provider will interpret results in conjunction with your symptoms, medical history, and other diagnostic findings.
Follow-up Recommendations
- Schedule follow-up testing as recommended by your physician
- Implement lifestyle modifications based on results
- Consult with a nephrologist for specialized care if needed
- Monitor blood pressure and blood sugar regularly
