See where your pet's kidney values fall on the map.
Enter a few details about your pet and the creatinine from a recent lab report, and see the values on the kidney bands published by IRIS, in a view that is easy to understand.
HOW THE EXPLORER WORKS
One number is a snapshot. The trend is the story.
The Explorer shows a single report in context. Furva itself keeps every report together, so the pattern across visits is never lost.

Type two numbers from a lab report here, or upload the full report to Furva and let it read every value for you.

02
Your values are plotted against the published IRIS bands, so you can see at a glance which band each number falls inside.

The Bands at a glance
The four bands IRIS publishes for creatinine and SDMA, by species. Your veterinarian uses these bands together with repeat testing, urine results, and blood pressure.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you ask your vet
Does this tool diagnose kidney disease?
No. The Explorer is educational only, not a diagnosis. It shows where numbers from one report fall on the published IRIS bands. Only your veterinarian can assess your pet, and staging is your veterinarian's call.
Creatinine, and SDMA if you have it, from any recent lab report. Urine protein (UPC) and a previous creatinine are optional and add helpful context when you have them.
What numbers do I need?
IRIS is the International Renal Interest Society. Its staging system groups kidney values into four bands to help veterinarians describe chronic kidney disease consistently. Vets apply it using results that persist over time, along with urine protein and blood pressure.
What is IRIS staging?
What should I do with this result?
Bring it to your vet, along with the questions listed in your result. Then upload the full report to Furva, free, so this snapshot becomes part of your pet's tracked history instead of a single number on its own.
