Why Test Your Kidney Health?

Kidney disease is the fastest-growing noncommunicable disease in the United States, affecting about 15% of Americans. 

Early-stage kidney disease usually has no symptoms, which is why it is often referred to as a silent killer. Symptoms typically do not arise until the late stages, when the damage is irreversible. 9 out of 10 people living with kidney disease are unaware they have it. 

The good news is, if caught early, the progression of kidney disease can be slowed down or stopped. A simple blood test, like this Kidney Health Test, can show how well the kidneys are functioning so that you can take any necessary steps to protect your health. 

 

Factors That Increase Your Risk of Kidney Disease

Having Diabetes (Type 1 and Type 2)

Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure, with nearly half (47%) of all cases. Around 1 in 3 adults with diabetes have some form of kidney disease. High blood sugar from diabetes damages the kidneys over time, reducing their ability to filter blood effectively. 

Having High Blood Pressure 

The second leading cause of kidney failure in the United States is high blood pressure. The increased pressure of the blood flow to the kidneys can cause damage to their delicate filtering system. This issue is compounded because the kidneys play a role in regulating blood pressure, but as they become more damaged over time, they are less able to perform this role. Over time, this causes kidney failure. 

Being Black, Native American, Hispanic, or Asian American

Compared to white Americans: 

  • Black Americans are 3.4 times more likely to develop kidney failure. 
  • Native Americans are 1.9 times more likely
  • Hispanic Americans are 1.5 times more likely
  • Asian Americans are 1.3 times more likely 

Being a Smoker 

Cigarette smoking reduces blood flow to the kidneys, causing damage over time. Nicotine has been found to damage kidney cells and increase the risk of developing diabetic kidney disease.  Smoking can also affect medications that treat high blood pressure, which is the second leading cause of kidney disease in the United States.

How it Works

Healthyr uses microsampling technology to offer health tests that can be done in the comfort of your home. There is no need to visit a medical professional or lab– you collect your sample yourself using a simple finger prick.
 
Each kit will provide everything you need, including a lancet for the finger prick and an ADX card to apply your sample. Unlike traditional testing, only a few drops of blood are required!
 
The ADX card separates the blood solids from the blood plasma and once dry, you mail your sample to our lab. No need to visit the post office, just drop it in your local mailbox.
 
Once your sample arrives at the lab, your results are uploaded to your secure, HIPAA-protected online portal within three days.
 
Note: if you’d like to learn more, detailed sample collection instructions can be found on the instructions page here.

Creatinine

What is it and how does it affect me?

Creatinine is a byproduct of normal muscle function that is filtered out of your blood by your kidneys and exits your body in urine. Diabetes can impair the kidneys’ ability to remove creatinine from blood. Measuring creatinine can help understand whether your kidneys are functioning properly.

eGFR

What is it and how does it affect me?

Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) is the estimated rate at which your kidneys are able to produce “cleansed blood” by filtering out waste products, like creatinine. This number is calculated using your serum creatinine result along with your age, weight, and biological sex. A care provider can use this number to understand how well your kidneys are functioning and if you may benefit from medical or lifestyle interventions to improve kidney function. If you have diabetes, it is especially important to understand how your condition is affecting your kidneys.

Hemoglobin A1C (Hba1c)

What is it and how does it affect me?

A hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) test measures the amount of sugar (glucose) attached to hemoglobin. This biomarker indicates your average blood sugar level over the past three months, which may be useful in identifying people suffering from diabetes or prediabetes. In people with known diabetes or prediabetes, HbA1c levels help indicate how well these conditions are being managed.

Kidney disease has no symptoms until the damage is irreversible. Test your kidney health regularly to catch the warning signs before it’s too late.

Who is This Test For?

You have Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes.
Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney disease in the United States. Approximately 1 in 3 adults with diabetes have kidney disease. Many people with kidney disease are unaware because the early stages have no symptoms. If you are diabetic, it is important to monitor your kidney function more closely and consistently so that you can catch warning signs early and take action to prevent disease progression.
You have high blood pressure.
High blood pressure is the second leading cause of kidney disease in the United States. In fact, 1 in 5 adults with high blood pressure may have kidney disease. When high blood pressure damages the kidneys, the kidneys are less able to regulate blood pressure, creating a worsening of both conditions. If you have high blood pressure, it is important to check your kidney function regularly so that you can catch early warning signs and take action to prevent disease progression.
You have a family history of kidney disease or kidney failure.
If you have a close relative such as a parent, sibling, or grandparent who has been diagnosed with kidney disease, you may be at greater risk of developing kidney disease yourself. Checking your kidney health more often can help you catch warning signs early.
Your HbA1c or Creatinine results were elevated in another Healthyr test.
Both elevated HbA1c and Creatinine can indicate an increased risk of kidney damage. If either of these were elevated in another Healthyr test, you may want to use this test to retest these indicators of Kidney health.
You take medication that can affect kidney function.
Certain medications such as Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs), Diuretics, Beta Blockers, Vasodilators, lithium, NSAIDs (e.g. aspirin, acetaminophen, and ibuprofen), and certain antibiotic and antiviral medications can affect kidney function over time.

Results from this test will provide insights into your current health status and hopefully, identify potential issues early so that they can be addressed.

About Our Labs + Science

Accuracy + Reliability ​

Our tests use an accurate and reliable form of microsampling called Dried Blood Spot Testing.
This form of testing has been used since the 1960s in Neonatal care and for testing in remote locations. You may be familiar with the heel prick performed on newborns during their initial health assessment– this is Dried Blood Spot Testing. We use this same technology and have expanded it to accurately assess a wider range of diagnostic biomarkers to be able to provide reliable health assessment that is more convenient, accessible, and affordable.

Lab Safety + Sterility 

Our state-of-the-art lab is CLIA-certified and CAP-accredited. We pride ourselves on our use of validated and reliable testing methods as well as our stringent quality control measures. 

If you would like to learn more about our lab processes and accreditations, click here.

Privacy + Security 

Healthyr adheres to strict privacy and security measures to protect your personal health information. Our technology has encryption and safety protocols in place and every employee, from customer service to CEO, is trained in HIPAA compliance.
