Dietitians
As a dietitian, accurate laboratory results, delivered quickly and efficiently, are important to you. At RenaLab we understand and will provide excellent quality results to you quickly and in a way that is most useful to you. Lab results will be available the following afternoon after the sample is collected. Also, the dialysis center will be notified anytime a critical value result is released.
In addition to our speed, RenaLab offers one of the highest quality laboratories in the U.S. We are accredited by the College of American Pathologists and staffed by registered technologists and technicians. Anytime a result does not fit the clinical picture for your patient, you are encouraged to let us know. RenaLab will not only pull and repeat the sample in the lab, but will also send it for testing to an outside lab for extra validation at no cost to you. That is part of our commitment to the quality of your patients’ results.
We also know that testing methods can make a big difference when you are trying to interpret laboratory data. The testing methods that RenaLab employs were chosen very carefully with the dialysis patient in mind. Every method chosen is tested carefully for accuracy, precision, and use in the dialysis population prior to implementation.
RenaLab uses the following methods:
* Bromcresol Green Albumin
* Daugirdas II Logarithmic kinetics
* Hemoglobin A1C standardized against the approved IFCC methods and traceable to the DCCT/NGSP
* Intact Parathyroid Hormone
