## What does the Kidney Health Panel cover?

Advanced kidney evaluation combining the Renal Panel, Cystatin C, urinalysis, and CMP for the most complete picture of kidney function.

The Kidney Health Panel goes beyond basic kidney markers to provide a thorough assessment of renal function. The Renal Panel and CMP evaluate electrolytes, BUN, and creatinine. Cystatin C provides a more accurate GFR estimate than creatinine alone — especially valuable for people with high or low muscle mass. A complete urinalysis screens for protein, blood, and other abnormalities that indicate kidney damage. This panel is ideal for anyone with diabetes, hypertension, or a family history of kidney disease.

**Clinical use:** Comprehensive kidney evaluation: Renal Panel (BUN, creatinine, eGFR, electrolytes) + Microalbumin (early kidney damage) + Cystatin C (more accurate eGFR than creatinine alone). Catches kidney disease years before standard labs.

## Who should order it?

Anyone with diabetes, hypertension, family history of kidney disease, on nephrotoxic medications (NSAIDs long-term, lithium, ACE/ARBs), recurrent kidney stones, or age 60+ for baseline.

## How much does a Kidney Health Panel cost?

A Kidney Health Panel costs $64.99 at TestWell — $70.99 all-in when ordered alone, because the $6 lab processing fee is charged once per order, with no draw fee or physician fee added. Ordered directly from the labs' own consumer sites, the closest equivalent lists at $109.00 at Labcorp OnDemand (list prices checked Sep 12, 2026; see the notes on how the products differ). With insurance, what you pay depends on your deductible and your plan's negotiated rate; TestWell's price is fixed before the draw and is HSA/FSA-eligible.

| Where you order | Price | One test, all-in | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| TestWell (drawn at Quest or Labcorp) | $64.99 | $70.99 | Includes the one $6 lab processing fee, charged once per order |
| Labcorp OnDemand (Labcorp's own site) | $109.00 | $109.00 | Marker lists differ; both are kidney-function panels · [list price checked 2026-09-12](https://www.ondemand.labcorp.com/lab-tests/kidney-health-test) |

## How do you prepare?

Fasting for 10–12 hours recommended. Collect a midstream urine sample. Water is okay.

## Common questions about the Kidney Health Panel

### What's included in the Kidney Health Panel?

[Renal Panel](https://www.test-well.com/tests/renal-panel) (BUN, creatinine, eGFR, electrolytes — 9 tests), [Cystatin C](https://www.test-well.com/tests/cystatin-c) (more sensitive eGFR marker), and urine [microalbumin](https://www.test-well.com/tests/microalbumin-urine) (the earliest marker of diabetic / hypertensive kidney damage). About 12 individual biomarkers focused entirely on kidney function.

### Why measure both Creatinine and Cystatin C?

Creatinine-based eGFR overestimates kidney function in low-muscle-mass patients (elderly, women) and underestimates in high-muscle-mass patients (bodybuilders, athletes). [Cystatin C](https://www.test-well.com/tests/cystatin-c) is unaffected by muscle mass — it's a more accurate eGFR marker in both extremes. Combined eGFR (CKD-EPI Cr-CysC equation) is the most accurate.

### Why is Microalbumin important?

Microalbuminuria (small amounts of protein in urine) is the earliest detectable sign of diabetic or hypertensive kidney damage — appears years before eGFR drops. Catching it early lets you start ACE inhibitors or SGLT2 inhibitors that can slow or reverse kidney damage.

### How is this different from a CMP or Renal Panel alone?

[Renal Panel](https://www.test-well.com/tests/renal-panel) or [CMP](https://www.test-well.com/tests/comprehensive-metabolic-panel) catches advanced kidney disease (eGFR already low). Kidney Health Panel adds Cystatin C (more sensitive eGFR) and microalbumin (earliest damage marker) — designed to catch kidney problems at the earliest, most-treatable stage.

### How much does the Kidney Health Panel cost without insurance?

On TestWell, the Kidney Health Panel is $64.99. Ordering the same tests separately would be about $100. Quest Direct lists comparable bundles at $170, walk-in hospital labs typically bill $350-500 for the same biomarkers without insurance.

### Do I need to fast?

Yes — 8-12 hours of fasting (water only) for accurate creatinine, Cystatin C, and electrolyte readings.

### How often should I retest?

Annually for adults with diabetes or hypertension. Every 3-6 months if CKD is already established or you're titrating ACE/ARB therapy. Every 2-3 years for healthy adults under 60 with no risk factors.
