Labs & monitoring

Better insight.
More personal care.

Lab testing may help your licensed provider better understand your health and personalize your care when testing is clinically appropriate. KERNX guides you through each step from a provider recommendation to reviewing what comes next.

Illustrative example. Not patient data.
Simple and guided

How labs may fit into your care.

Lab testing is not automatically required for every patient. Your provider determines what is appropriate based on your medical history, medications, symptoms, goals, and clinical needs.

01

Provider review

Your licensed provider reviews your health information and determines whether testing may be useful.

02

Testing guidance

If labs are recommended, you receive clear instructions about the tests and next steps.

03

Results reviewed

Your provider evaluates the results alongside your full health picture, not as isolated numbers.

04

Your plan continues

Your care plan may be confirmed, adjusted, or followed more closely based on clinical judgment.

What may be reviewed

Information that helps tell a fuller story.

The specific tests ordered vary by patient. The examples below are educational and do not mean every KERNX patient will need them.

Metabolic health

A1C or glucose

May help a provider understand blood sugar patterns and overall metabolic health.

Organ function

Kidney & liver markers

May provide additional context when a provider is evaluating treatment suitability or monitoring.

Cardiovascular

Lipid panel

May show cholesterol and triglyceride levels that contribute to a broader health assessment.

Hormonal context

Thyroid testing

May be considered when symptoms or medical history suggest thyroid function should be evaluated.

Nutrition

Vitamin or iron levels

May be considered when there are symptoms, dietary concerns, or increased shedding during weight loss.

Individualized

Additional testing

Your provider may recommend other tests depending on your unique health history and clinical needs.

Numbers need context.

A lab result is only one part of the picture. Your provider considers your history, symptoms, current medications, goals, and other clinical information before recommending next steps.

Questions, answered

Labs without the confusion.

Does every patient need lab work?

No. Your licensed provider determines whether lab testing is appropriate for your individual care.

Can lab results change my treatment plan?

They may provide additional clinical information. Any treatment decision is made by your provider based on your full health picture.

Where will testing be completed?

Testing options and availability may vary by location, provider recommendation, and the specific tests ordered. Instructions are provided when testing is recommended.

How quickly will results be reviewed?

Timing can vary by test and testing location. Your care team will provide guidance about what to expect.

Are labs included in the monthly price?

No. Lab testing is not included in your monthly plan price and is billed separately. Testing is not required for every patient. If your provider recommends it, the cost is shown before you complete any test, and you are free to use your own provider or lab instead.

Care built around more than a number.

Start your assessment and connect with a licensed provider who can determine whether lab testing is appropriate for your care.
