The Test Grade. The Reason Behind It.

Potentially useful for the right buyer, with meaningful evidence, coverage, transparency, access, cost, terms, or privacy tradeoffs to review.

A lower grade does not mean a panel is a bad personal fit. Your Fit Score can be higher when its purpose, price, sample, access, or support matches what you need.

The Strengths. The Tradeoffs.

Strengths

  • Order online for healthcare-provider review and approval, then provide your sample at a Quest location. A healthcare-provider office visit is not required.

Watch-outs

  • One elevated result does not by itself establish persistent kidney disease. Recent exercise, infection, fever and other conditions can temporarily raise urine albumin.
  • The exact performing laboratory, assay-specific validation and an actual sample report have not been assessed.
  • Available to eligible US residents with a valid US driver license or state-issued ID, excluding Hawaii, US territories, New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island. Confirm urine-collection eligibility with your selected location before paying.
  • Results typically arrive within 14 business days. Approximately two weeks is a general estimate, and timing can vary with test or panel complexity. These estimates do not include consultation timing.
