Trends in Testing of Serum Creatinine and Albuminuria
The prevalence of patients receiving testing for serum creatinine, lipid levels, and urine albumin to creatinine ratio among commercially insured patients with diagnosed CKD has increased over the years. Testing rates were higher in older age groups and for patients with diabetes or hypertension. Patients with CKD stages 3 and 4 were more likely to receive all three tests. Explore the detailed trends based on age, sex, and race/ethnicity.

Trends in Testing of Serum Creatinine, Albuminuria, and Trends in Testing of Serum Creatinine, Albuminuria, and Lipid Levels among Commercially Insured Patients with Lipid Levels among Commercially Insured Patients with Diagnosed CKD Diagnosed CKD The prevalence of patients receiving testing for serum creatinine, lipid levels, and urine albumin to creatinine ratio during the same calendar year was 15.1% in 2007 and 27.7% in 2020. Prevalence of testing was more common in older age groups and was more than twice as high for patients with than without diabetes. Patients with hypertension were approximately twice as likely to receive all three tests than those without hypertension. Patients with CKD stages 3 and 4 tended to have a higher prevalence of receiving all three tests. Data Source: Clinformatics Commercial https://nccd.cdc.gov/CKD/detail.aspx?Qnum=Q789
