Understanding Your Results

Interpretation of the CKD Management Panel requires considering all parameters together to assess kidney function and related metabolic issues. Abnormal results may indicate reduced kidney function, electrolyte imbalances, or mineral bone disorders associated with CKD.
Low GFR indicates reduced kidney function and helps stage CKD
High creatinine and BUN suggest impaired kidney waste removal
Abnormal albumin levels may indicate nephrotic syndrome or malnutrition
Elevated PTH and low Vitamin D can be associated with CKD-mineral bone disorder
Low hemoglobin may indicate anemia of chronic disease in CKD
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If test results show abnormal kidney function markers, or if you experience symptoms like persistent fatigue, swelling, changes in urine output, nausea, or itching, consult a nephrologist promptly for further evaluation and management.
