Kidney Filtering Rate Measured Through The Skin

Alaska rates for HCPCS 0602T

A sensor is attached to the skin and a fluorescent tracer is given, and the sensor follows how quickly the kidneys clear the tracer out of the bloodstream. This gives a direct measurement of how well the kidneys are filtering from a single dose of the tracer, at the bedside rather than through a laboratory result.
