Cystatin C blood test cost varies widely depending on whether you order a stand-alone cystatin C with eGFR test or a broader kidney panel. Here’s how to compare prices, fees, specimens, and ordering options.
Kidney function blood tests usually include creatinine with eGFR, BUN, electrolytes, and sometimes cystatin C. Learn what each test can show, what it can miss, and why urine albumin testing is often paired with blood work.
A CO2 or bicarbonate blood test helps show whether your body is keeping acid and base in balance. Learn what high and low results can mean, what to check next, and when to follow up.
A high or low potassium result can reflect kidney function, medications, fluid loss, hormone conditions, diet, or sample handling. Learn how potassium results are interpreted and when to seek care.
High or low uric acid can reflect kidney handling, diet, medications, gout risk, kidney-stone risk, or less common metabolic conditions. Learn how to interpret your result and what to ask next.
A urine albumin-creatinine ratio (uACR) compares albumin protein with creatinine in a urine sample. A high result can be an early sign of kidney stress or kidney disease, while a low or normal result is usually reassuring.
A urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio, or uACR, is a urine test used with blood kidney tests to look for early kidney damage. Learn what it measures, how to prepare, what results mean, and what to ask next.
Self-pay urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio testing commonly costs about $45–$116 through national direct-to-consumer lab options, depending on whether the provider sells a standalone urine ACR test or a broader kidney profile.
A high or low BUN result can reflect kidney function, hydration, protein intake, liver function, medications, or recent illness. Learn how to interpret BUN with creatinine, eGFR, symptoms, and follow-up testing.
Self-pay BUN blood testing often costs about $31–$52 for a standalone test after required fees, but a CMP, BMP, or renal panel may be a better value when you need kidney-function context.
