Blood Work
Diabetes & Kidney Panel
21 results. eGFR and the albumin/creatinine ratio are calculated, not counted.
If you have insurance we're in network with, you don't need to buy this panel: book a check-up and covered labs are billed to your plan. See how insurance works.
Not for emergencies. Call 911 now for chest pain, trouble breathing, fainting or stroke signs. Sometimes you should be seen first. If you have new or worrying symptoms, book a visit before you order tests.
What this panel can show signs of
A result outside the range is a reason to look closer, not a diagnosis. A Passion Health clinician reviews every result and tells you what it means.
The two tests guidelines use together. Either can be abnormal first, often years before symptoms.
Kidney function test guide →An A1c of 5.7% to 6.4% points to prediabetes; 6.5% or higher, confirmed, means diabetes.
Prediabetes care online →LDL, HDL, triglycerides and non-HDL, the numbers behind your heart-risk plan.
High cholesterol care online →Common with blood pressure medicines and kidney disease, and important for heart rhythm.
High blood pressure care online →Not in this panel: a blood count (anemia, and the FIB-4 liver score that needs platelets) or thyroid tests. See Essential Blood Work, $59 or the Thyroid Panel, $30.
21 results, counted once
The tests that track sugar control and protect your kidneys. Calculated scores come with the tests they depend on and are listed separately.

From order to results
Order online
Add a panel or single tests, pay, and a Texas-licensed clinician reviews and signs the order.

Get clinician-reviewed results
Most results in 1 to 3 business days. A clinician calls the same day about anything critical and sets your next steps.
Do I need to fast?
Fast for 8 to 12 hours before your draw (water is fine, and take your usual medicines unless your clinician says otherwise). This panel includes tests that read best fasting.

Questions about this panel
Will I talk to a real clinician?
Yes. A Texas-licensed physician, nurse practitioner or physician assistant reviews every order and result. Visits happen by video or in person. Texas law holds video care to the same standard as an in-person visit (Texas Occupations Code §111.007).
Is Lp(a) a one-time test?
For most adults, yes. The 2026 ACC/AHA guideline recommends measuring Lp(a) at least once in every adult. It is mostly inherited and stays fairly stable, so one test is usually enough unless your clinician has a reason to repeat it.
How long do blood work results take?
Most routine results are back within 1 to 3 business days after your draw; a few specialty tests take up to a week. We message you when results are ready, and a clinician calls you the same day about any critical result.
Why don't you test 100+ biomarkers?
Big counts often include repeats, calculated ratios and markers that rarely change care. Our library shows every marker we offer, marks calculated scores separately, and explains the evidence for each.
What happens if a result is abnormal?
A clinician reviews it. Critical results get a phone call the same day. Other abnormal results are explained with a plan and a recheck date.
