CKM PGx.
For complex medication lists.
An 8-gene panel for the medications people with cardiovascular, kidney and metabolic conditions often take together — statins, blood thinners, beta blockers, diabetes and gout medications. One saliva sample, run in our CLIA-certified lab, with results your prescriber can refer back to.
Medications and the genes behind them
Your report shows how your genes are likely to affect each of these medications, so your prescriber can choose the drug and dose with more information.
The same dose can work differently in different people.
People managing heart disease, chronic kidney disease, diabetes or gout, where reduced kidney clearance can add to the effect of genetic differences in how drugs are processed.
Is this test right for you?
If any of these sound familiar, this test was built for your situation.
- You have two or more of heart disease, kidney disease, diabetes or gout.
- You take a statin, a blood thinner and a blood pressure medication together.
- Your kidney function is reduced and doses have been hard to get right.
- You are starting allopurinol for gout.
- A medication caused side effects at a standard dose.
- Your nephrologist or cardiologist suggested genetic testing.
Answering yes to even one of these is a good reason to test before the next prescription change.

Questions people actually ask
Will this test change my medications?+
Not on its own. Your report gives your prescriber information about how your genes are likely to affect each medication. Never stop or change a medication without talking to them first.
Do I need to repeat the test?+
Your genotype doesn't change, so most people test once. Interpretations can be updated as guidelines evolve. If you've had a bone marrow, stem-cell or liver transplant, ask your provider before testing.
How is the sample collected?+
With a saliva sample or a cheek swab at home — no needles and no blood draw. Instructions are in the kit.
How long until I get results?+
Typically 3–7 business days after your sample reaches the lab. You'll get a notification when your report is ready.
Do I need a doctor to order it?+
No. A licensed physician in our network reviews and places the order as part of checkout, at no extra cost.
Will this show up on my insurance?+
No. You pay the lab directly, so no claim is submitted. Results are delivered to a secure, HIPAA-compliant portal.
