Renal Blood Test Panel - More Information

The renal function test panel, also known as a renal blood test, kidney blood test, kidney panel, kidney function test and RFP lab test, measures renal function blood markers.

Renal function refers to the overall health and performance of the kidneys. Humans have two kidneys and these organs are vital for clearing out waste products and excess fluids from the body through the urine. Composed of smaller components called nephrons, the kidneys have an intricate filtration system to help regulate fluid and electrolyte balance in the body. This particular renal function builds on the creatinine test by including the basic metabolic panel, the albumin level, and the phosphorus test.

To get a renal function panel test near you, just order online and get your blood drawn at the Quest Diagnostics lab. Once your renal function lab report is ready, it will be available for download. As can be seen on the sample renal function lab test results above, the kidney function and other blood marker levels are reported as numbers which can be compared against the reference ranges provided by the lab.
