Short Description

KDIGO guideline, 2012 recommends Chronic Kidney disease (CKD) should be classified based on cause, GFR category and albuminuria (ACR) category. GFR & ACR category combined together reflect risk of progression and helps clinician to identify individuals who are progressing at more rapid rate than anticipated. It can be a guide to review current management, examine for reversible cause of progression and to determine frequency & duration of follow up. Individuals who are ƒ??ƒ??rapid progressorsƒ??ƒ?? should be targeted to slow their progression and associated adverse outcomes.

PreTest Information

First morning urine is the preferred sample. Record patient's age, gender and height on test request form.

CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) Risk Map Test: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Cost

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a serious condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It occurs when your kidneys are damaged and can no longer filter blood as well as they should. Early detection of CKD is important to prevent further damage and manage the condition effectively. One way to assess your risk for CKD is through a CKD Risk Map Test. In this blog, we will discuss the symptoms, diagnosis, and cost of this test.

Symptoms of CKD

CKD often develops slowly and may not show any symptoms until the later stages. Some common symptoms of CKD include:

• Feeling tired or weak
• Loss of appetite
• Nausea and vomiting
• Swelling in the legs and feet
• Changes in urination (more or less)
• Difficulty sleeping
• Itchy skin
• High blood pressure

If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to speak with your doctor immediately.

Diagnosis of CKD

CKD can be diagnosed through a series of tests, including:

• Blood tests to measure kidney function
• Urine tests to check for protein or blood in the urine
• Imaging tests such as ultrasound or CT scan to check for kidney damage or abnormalities
• Kidney biopsy to check for specific kidney diseases

If you are at risk for CKD, your doctor may recommend a CKD Risk Map Test.

What is a CKD Risk Map Test?

A CKD Risk Map Test is a blood test that assesses your risk for developing CKD. It measures the levels of certain markers in your blood that are associated with kidney function. The test provides a risk score that predicts your likelihood of developing CKD in the next five years.

Cost of CKD Risk Map Test

The cost of a CKD Risk Map Test in India is INR 877.5. The test is available at DNA Labs India, a leading diagnostic laboratory that offers a wide range of tests and services.
