IFCOR's Kidney Function Panel tests ten markers covering glomerular filtration, electrolyte balance, tubular function, and urine sediment to give a complete picture of kidney health in a single fasting collection. The CKD-EPI equation — calculated from creatinine, age, and sex — provides an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) that is the internationally standard metric for chronic kidney disease staging. Uric acid flags gout risk and urate nephropathy. Urinalysis with sediment detects protein loss, blood, and infection indicators that blood tests alone cannot reveal. At 300 Kč, this targeted panel is accessible for regular monitoring in hypertensive, diabetic, or at-risk patients.
About this treatment
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects approximately 10–15% of adults worldwide and is frequently asymptomatic until GFR falls below 30 mL/min/1.73m² — by which point 70% of nephron mass has been lost. Early detection through regular monitoring is the cornerstone of CKD management and a key intervention point for slowing progression. IFCOR's Kidney Function Panel captures all clinically relevant early-detection markers in a single affordable panel. Urea is…

Who is this for?
People with hypertension, diabetes, a family history of kidney disease, chronic NSAID or medication use, or anyone wanting a targeted kidney health audit — particularly relevant for annual monitoring in at-risk groups.
Preparation required
Fasting required. Bring a morning urine sample in a sterile container. Stay well-hydrated in the days before the test (but do not over-hydrate on the morning itself). Inform staff of any nephrotoxic medications.

Clinical team
IFCOR was founded and is led by RNDr. František Flek, who established the original allergy and immunology laboratory in 1994. The network holds ISO 15189:2013 accreditation across five facilities (ČIA number M 8106) and participates in four external quality assurance programmes: SEKK, EHK SZÚ Prague, Instand, and ÚHKT. The Jihlava laboratory team covers nine specialist disciplines — clinical biochemistry,…
