What does each test strip monitor?
Each uACR test strip measures two markers that together give a clinically meaningful read on kidney filtration. Tap any marker to learn what it measures and why it matters.
Albumin (uACR)
Albumin is a protein that should stay in your blood — not your urine. When healthy kidneys filter your blood, they keep albumin in circulation. Damaged or stressed kidneys begin to leak it through, and that leakage is the earliest measurable sign of kidney trouble.
✓Detected from 10 mg/L✓Earliest CKD marker✓ADA-recommended screening
Creatinine (uACR)
Creatinine is a steady waste product your body makes from muscle. We measure it alongside albumin to correct for how concentrated your urine is — so a quick glass of water doesn't artificially lower your result. The ratio gives a clinically meaningful number, not a guess.
✓Normalizes hydration✓Pairs with albumin✓Mg/g standard reporting
Built on decades of clinical research
Backed by peer-reviewed research.
The albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) is one of the most studied kidney biomarkers in medicine.

FAQs
Everything you need to know about at-home kidney monitoring.
What if I get an abnormal result?
An out-of-range result is a prompt to look closer, not a diagnosis. We flag what's elevated, explain what it may mean in plain language, and recommend confirming with your physician. Because you're tracking a trend over time, you'll also see whether a single reading was a blip or part of a pattern.
Can I pause or cancel my membership?
Anytime. Manage, pause, or cancel your membership in a couple of taps from your account — no phone calls, no retention hoops. You keep access through the end of your current billing period.
Is my data private?
Your health data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and we never sell it. You control who sees your results, and you can export or delete your data whenever you like.
What's HSA/FSA eligibility?
Modern Checkup is an eligible medical expense under most HSA and FSA plans. You can pay with your HSA/FSA card at checkout, and we provide an itemized receipt for reimbursement if your plan requires one.
How do I take the test?
Collect a small sample, dip the test strip, and log it with your phone camera in the app. Your results are ready in minutes - no lab visit, nothing to mail in.
