Would you want your blood test to show CKD (chronic kidney disease) risk levels, not just numbers?

Hi everyone 👋

I’m Dominic, Co-Founder of Idunox. We’re working on new ways to detect risk for chronic disease up to 10 years prior diagnosis. Our main focus is proteomics, but along the way we also developed an approach that can highlight potential risk patterns for chronic kidney disease (CKD) using only standard blood values (like creatinine, urea, cystatin C).

Instead of just seeing “your value is X,” you could get a simple risk signal (low / medium / high) about your likelihood of developing CKD over the next 10 years, based on large population studies. This is crucial, as todays standards only flag you once significant damage is done to your kidney.

I’d love to hear your perspective as people interested in health and longevity:

  • Would you find such a risk insight useful in addition to raw numbers (creatinine, eGFR, etc.)?

  • If yes → what would you do with that information?

  • If no → what would hold you back?

  • How would you want to see this presented? (Traffic-light style, percentage risk, comparison to population average?)

  • Would you see this more as a personal wellness insight or as something you’d expect to go through your doctor?

We’re not offering medical advice or a diagnostic test here — just trying to understand whether turning routine lab values into a risk perspective is something people would value.

Thanks a lot for your input 🙏

— Dominic
