The Renal Panel includes 10 tests specifically focused on evaluating kidney function and health. It includes BUN, creatinine, eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate), electrolytes, calcium, phosphorus, and albumin. This panel is more focused on kidney health than the CMP and is ideal for monitoring kidney function in people with diabetes, hypertension, or family history of kidney disease. **Clinical use:** Comprehensive kidney function panel: BUN, creatinine, eGFR, electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride, CO2), glucose, calcium. Used to evaluate kidney disease, monitor diabetes/hypertension impact, and check pre-medication baseline. ## Who should order it? Anyone with diabetes, hypertension, family history of kidney disease, on nephrotoxic medications (NSAIDs, ACEi/ARBs, lithium, contrast), suspected dehydration, electrolyte concerns, or annual screening after age 60. ## Biomarkers measured - [BUN](https://www.test-well.com/biomarkers/bun) - [Creatinine](https://www.test-well.com/biomarkers/creatinine) - [eGFR](https://www.test-well.com/biomarkers/egfr) - [Sodium](https://www.test-well.com/biomarkers/sodium) - [Potassium](https://www.test-well.com/biomarkers/potassium) - [Chloride](https://www.test-well.com/biomarkers/chloride) - [CO2](https://www.test-well.com/biomarkers/carbon-dioxide) - [Calcium](https://www.test-well.com/biomarkers/calcium) - [Phosphorus](https://www.test-well.com/biomarkers/phosphorus) - [Albumin](https://www.test-well.com/biomarkers/albumin) ## Price by lab | Lab | Test price | All-in (with $6 fee) | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Quest Diagnostics | $23.99 | $29.99 | Choose at checkout; walk-in patient service centers nationwide (not NY/NJ) | | Labcorp | $23.99 | $29.99 | Choose at checkout; walk-in patient service centers nationwide (not NY/NJ) | Rhode Island is not served.

Stay normally hydrated. ## Related conditions - Chronic kidney disease (N18.9) - Acute kidney injury (N17.9) - Diabetic nephropathy (E11.21) - Hypertensive kidney disease (I12.9) ## Common questions about the Renal Panel test ### What's the difference between a Renal Panel and a CMP? Renal Panel focuses on kidney-specific markers (BUN, creatinine, eGFR, electrolytes, glucose, calcium) — 9-10 tests. The [CMP](https://www.test-well.com/tests/comprehensive-metabolic-panel) includes everything in a Renal Panel PLUS 4-5 liver tests (ALT, AST, alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin, total protein, albumin) for 14 tests total. CMP is usually a better value unless your insurance specifically requires the Renal-only code. ### What's a normal eGFR? Above 90 mL/min/1.73m² is normal. 60-89 is mildly decreased (often age-related). 30-59 is moderate CKD (stages 3a/3b). 15-29 is severe (stage 4). Below 15 is kidney failure (stage 5, often requiring dialysis). Trends over time matter — a stable eGFR of 75 is fine; a falling eGFR of 75 needs investigation. ### What does an elevated BUN mean? Most common: dehydration (BUN rises faster than creatinine). Less common: GI bleeding, high-protein diet, kidney injury, or heart failure. The BUN/creatinine ratio helps distinguish: >20 suggests dehydration or GI bleeding; <10 suggests overhydration or liver disease. ### How much does a Renal Panel cost without insurance? On TestWell, the Renal Panel is $23.99. Quest Direct lists the same panel at $40, walk-in hospital labs typically bill $100-130 without insurance. The [CMP](https://www.test-well.com/tests/comprehensive-metabolic-panel) at $22.99 includes everything in this panel plus liver tests — usually a better value. ### What is the CPT code for a Renal Panel? The CPT code for a Renal Function Panel is 80069. The expanded [CMP](https://www.test-well.com/tests/comprehensive-metabolic-panel) is billed as 80053. ### Do I need to fast for a Renal Panel? Yes — 8-12 hours of fasting (water only) gives the most accurate glucose reading. The other components (BUN, creatinine, electrolytes) are less affected by recent meals. ### Should I add urine microalbumin? Yes if you have diabetes or hypertension. Microalbumin catches early diabetic nephropathy years before eGFR drops. Ask your provider for a urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) annually if you have diabetes, or every 1-2 years with hypertension. ## How to order 1.
