Three Key Biomarkers

The Key Biomarkers Urologists use to determine the onset and progression of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) are: 

• RCC Tumor Growth Rate
• estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) 
• Urine Albumin to Creatinine Ratio (UACR).  

There are many others as well, that provide additional levels of detail.  However, doctors use these three key biomarkers as their first indication in monitoring a patient's health.  These biomarkers above all others help obtain advanced detection of CKD and enable the doctor to properly monitor the performance of a patient's Kidneys over time.  In the next few pages, we'll help demystify what these terms mean and why they are important.  Click below to get started.
