Frequently Asked Questions
Am I eligible for PromarkerD?
You might be eligible for PromarkerD if you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes and want to know your risk of developing kidney disease in the future. PromarkerD is a simple blood test that helps predict if your kidney function might decline over the next few years, even if your current kidney tests are normal. Your doctor can help determine if this test is right for you based on your health and medical history.

What do my results mean?
Your PromarkerD results indicate your risk of developing kidney disease over the next four years. The test gives a score that places you in one of three risk categories: low, moderate, or high. Low risk means your chances of kidney problems in the near future are low; Moderate risk means you may be more likely to experience kidney function decline; High risk means you’re at a higher chance of developing kidney disease soon. Your doctor will explain what your specific result means for your health and help decide the next steps to protect your kidneys.
How accurate is PromarkerD?
If you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes, PromarkerD is a highly accurate test for predicting your risk of developing kidney disease. Studies have shown that it can correctly identify most people who are at risk of kidney problems before any symptoms appear. It’s been tested in large groups of patients and provides important information that can help you and your doctor stay ahead of potential kidney issues.
How long does it take to receive PromarkerD test results?
You can expect to receive results within 7 days of getting tested with PromarkerD.
Can PromarkerD replace regular kidney function tests?
No, PromarkerD doesn’t replace regular kidney function tests like eGFR or urine tests. Instead, it works alongside them. PromarkerD helps predict your risk of future kidney problems, even if your current kidney function is normal. Regular tests are still needed to check how your kidneys are working right now. Together, these tests give a more complete picture of your kidney health and help your doctor create the best plan to protect your kidneys.
