Anyone experienced rapid kidney decline?
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) | Last Active: Nov 14, 2025 | Replies (19)Comment receiving replies
I have membranous glomerulopathy, and I'm curious as to what the 'CKD test' is. I get regular lab work done to track my kidney function, but that doesn't include this test. Can anyone tell me what the CDK is/measures?

@biowicks CKD stands for chronic kidney disease. I’m not aware of a test called CKD (or CDK). The tests for kidney function as @maggieinfp said is a Renal Panel. She described it really well. The most common part of that is the eGFR. It stands for estimated glomeruler (sp?) filtration rate which reflects the overall kidney function. Another valuable test is a Cystatin C test but is less common than the eGFR.

@biowicks CKD test would normally be a blood test called Renal Panel which measures eGFR, creatinine and BUN among other things.
