A more accurate measure of kidney function
By adding cystatin C — a marker of kidney function that isn't affected by muscle mass — to a full electrolyte and kidney panel, this 12-marker screen can give a more accurate picture than creatinine alone. A clinician reviews every result. £159 · clinician-reviewed results · CQC-regulated.
When kidney function needs a closer look
Standard creatinine-based estimates can be misleading in some people. This extended panel is a sensible first step if you recognise any of these.
Known or suspected CKD
Wanting more accurate monitoring of chronic kidney disease.
Older adults
Creatinine-based eGFR can overestimate kidney function in older people.
Low muscle mass
In those who are slight, frail or have wasting conditions, cystatin C is more reliable.
On certain medications
Some drugs need dose adjustment based on accurate kidney function.
High blood pressure or diabetes
Conditions that can affect the kidneys over time and warrant monitoring.
A fuller assessment
You want a more comprehensive kidney check than the standard panel.

12 markers across 4 areas
This panel screens filtration, electrolytes and metabolic markers together — for a fuller view of kidney health in one blood draw.
Filtration markers
Creatinine, urea and eGFR give the standard measure of how well the kidneys filter.
3 markersCystatin C
A muscle-independent marker that can reveal early kidney decline standard tests miss.
1 markerElectrolytes
Sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, phosphate and magnesium reflect the kidneys' balancing role.
6 markersUric acid
Elevated uric acid links kidney function with gout and metabolic risk.

Understanding your Extended Kidney Health results
Each result in your Extended Kidney Health is reviewed by a clinician before release. Below is a plain-English guide to the key markers included in this panel.
Key Biomarkers
This panel assesses the key markers relevant to extended kidney health. Each result is reviewed by a clinician who will flag any values outside the expected range for your age and sex.
Reference Ranges
Reference intervals are population-derived and should be interpreted alongside your symptoms and clinical history — a result within range does not always exclude pathology, and a mildly out-of-range result may be clinically insignificant in isolation.
Reference ranges vary between laboratories and are influenced by age, sex, and other individual factors. This information is for educational purposes only and does not replace a clinical consultation. The Vesey reviews every result before it is released to you.
