Learn about your CKD health numbers: blood pressure, weight, serum creatinine, eGFR, BUN, uACR, and more. Regular testing helps manage CKD.
Two tests are used to check for kidney disease. A blood test checks your GFR, which tells how well your kidneys are filtering. A urine test checks for albumin in your urine, a sign of kidney damage.
Know your kidney numbers with two tests: eGFR (blood test) checks kidney filtration, and uACR (urine test) checks for protein. Early detection is key.
Kidney function test results can tell you whether your kidneys are functioning typically or not. Most function tests look for two measurements: GFR of less than 60 could indicate kidney disease. Urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) of more than 30 milligrams per gram could be a warning sign of kidney disease.
The results are reported as the number of milligrams (mg) of albumin for every gram (g) of creatinine. Results indicating a healthy kidney are: For adult men, less than 17 mg/g; For adult women, less than 25 mg/g; A higher than typical result may be a sign of kidney disease.

Two tests are used to check for kidney disease. • A blood test checks your GFR, which tells how well your kidneys are filtering. • A urine test checks for albumin in your urine, a sign of kidney damage. You need to have your kidneys checked because you can’t feel kidney disease.
