About this test

This test measures kidney markers including creatinine, eGFR and urea, alongside liver markers such as ALT and ALP and protein markers including albumin, globulin and total protein. These are commonly used together to assess kidney and liver function and can help identify early signs of reduced kidney function, alongside other clinical information.

With 10 biomarkers, this test places in the 95th percentile for depth among the liver and kidney tests we track, meaning it covers considerably more ground than most tests of its kind. At £49, it is priced almost exactly at the £48.80 median for similarly sized liver and kidney tests, so the extra depth does not come with a price premium. There is no named comparison group for this specific test yet.

Clinical depth scores at the top of the scale given that percentile position, and value for money sits in the middle of the range since the price matches the market rather than beating it. Collection convenience scores highly because the test is done entirely at home. clarity and documentation and results and follow-up both score well because the full biomarker list is published and a doctor reviews the results.

Who is it for?

This suits anyone who wants a broad check of kidney function alongside related liver and protein markers, for example to monitor kidney health over time or before starting a medication that can affect the kidneys. Since there is no named comparison group yet, it is worth checking a provider's exact marker list against your reason for testing before choosing.

How it works

You collect a finger-prick blood sample at home, or choose an AutoDraw device sample, a home nurse visit or a venous draw at a partner clinic. Results are returned within 2 days and reviewed by a doctor before you see your report.
