Renal (Kidney) Profile
This blood panel reports creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), blood urea nitrogen, uric acid and calcium. Together they give your clinician a view of filtration and related changes in blood chemistry.

Understanding the test
What does the Renal (Kidney) Profile test measure?
Also called Complete Kidney Panel
The profile can support follow-up in kidney disease or evaluation after illness or fluid loss. Earlier creatinine and eGFR results are particularly helpful for judging whether kidney filtration has changed.
When it may be requested
Established kidney disease
The clinician can compare filtration estimates, waste markers and blood calcium over time.
Post-illness review
The clinician may compare a current profile with previous results after illness or fluid loss.
Inside this test
What the laboratory looks for
Panel components
- Uric Acid
- Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)
- Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN)
- Creatinine, Serum
- Calcium

Your checklist
The renal panel alone generally requires no fast. Avoid an unusually large meat meal and intense exercise before the draw, and bring a list of medicines and supplements.
A clinician takes a small sample of blood from a vein. The laboratory uses serum, the liquid separated from the blood after it clots.

Reading your result
Compare results with earlier kidney measurements and urine findings if available. Age, muscle mass and the speed of change can affect what a creatinine-based estimate means.
What can affect it
- Blood measurements do not directly assess every form of kidney damage.

Patient questions
Before you book
Does this kidney profile include urine albumin or potassium?
Urine albumin needs a separate urine sample. If your referral specifically requests potassium, check that it appears by name on your order. The five results listed for this blood profile are creatinine, eGFR, blood urea nitrogen, uric acid and calcium.
Why did my creatinine rise after I started training heavily?
Hard training, greater muscle mass and creatine supplements can raise creatinine independently of kidney disease. Tell the clinician when you trained and what you took. The result still needs to be read against your previous level and symptoms.
Why are urea and creatinine reported together if both measure waste?
Urea changes with fluid balance and how much protein your body breaks down. Creatinine also depends on muscle mass. Comparing them with earlier results and eGFR provides more information than either alone; the difference between them cannot by itself rule out kidney injury.
