A Kidney Function Test (KFT) is a blood test that checks how well your kidneys are working. It measures important parameters like creatinine, urea, uric acid, and electrolytes to evaluate kidney health.

KFT is done to detect kidney-related problems, monitor chronic conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure, and assess overall kidney function. It also helps identify early signs of kidney damage.

No, fasting is usually not required for a Kidney Function Test. However, your doctor may give specific instructions depending on your health condition or medications.

A standard KFT generally includes Creatinine, eGFR, Urea, Uric Acid, Sodium, Potassium, and Chloride levels. These parameters help assess how effectively the kidneys are filtering waste from the body.

People with diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney stone history, urinary infections, or a family history of kidney disease should consider regular KFT testing. It may also be advised if you experience swelling, fatigue, or changes in urination.

The test is performed using a small blood sample collected from a vein in your arm. The procedure is quick, safe, and usually takes only a few minutes.

KFT test reports are generally available within a few hours to 24 hours, depending on the laboratory and testing process.
