This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained fatigue, changes in urination, swelling in your legs or ankles, or digestive issues. It provides a comprehensive evaluation of how well your kidneys and liver are functioning, helping identify potential problems before they become serious. Many people use this test when they have risk factors like high blood pressure, diabetes, alcohol use, or a family history of kidney or liver disease.
You should fast for 12-14 hours before your test, which means no food or drinks except water. Avoid smoking before your appointment as it can affect ammonia levels, and don't clench your fist during the blood draw. Discuss with your doctor about temporarily stopping certain medications like diuretics or gout medications that may affect uric acid levels. Results typically take about 5 business days, though some specialized tests may take longer if confirmation is needed.
This comprehensive panel evaluates kidney function through creatinine, BUN, eGFR, and cystatin-C to detect early signs of kidney disease, plus a complete urinalysis to check for protein, blood, or infection. It assesses liver health with enzymes like ALT, AST, alkaline phosphatase, GGT, bilirubin, and specialized markers like alpha-fetoprotein and ammonia that reveal inflammation or damage. The panel also includes metabolic markers, lipid levels, electrolytes, and minerals that affect both organ systems, providing a complete picture of your kidney and liver health and how they're impacting your energy and wellness.
What this means
Your eGFR is slightly below the optimal range, which may indicate your kidneys are not filtering waste as efficiently as they should. While this is considered mildly reduced kidney function, it's important to monitor and take steps to protect your kidney health before it progresses further.
Recommended actions
Stay well-hydrated by drinking at least 8 glasses of water daily
Reduce sodium intake and limit processed foods to ease kidney workload
Monitor and manage blood pressure and blood sugar levels closely
Retest in 3-6 months to track kidney function trends
