KFT-KIDNEY FUNCTION TEST

If you have risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or a family history of kidney disease, a KFT is crucial for identifying any indications of kidney dysfunction, monitoring pre-existing kidney conditions, or evaluating how well your kidneys are functioning.

KFT typically does not require any extra preparation. However, some medications or supplements may interfere with the results, your doctor may ask you to avoid them before testing.

Your Kidneys ability to filter Waste (Creatinine, eGFR, urea) and maintain Electrolyte balance (Sodium, Potassium, Chloride) is indicated by your KFT results. Results that are abnormal might point to Electrolyte imbalances, Dehydration, or Kidney problems.

The Kidneys filter creatinine, which is a Waste product of Muscle Metabolism. One of the most important indicators of Kidney health is elevated Creatinine levels, which can signify reduced Kidney function.

The eGFR measures kidney function and evaluates how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. There are several methods for calculating eGFR, but most tests use a unique formula based on your creatinine level.

High Urea Levels can indicate that your Kidneys are not effectively removing waste from your Blood, which could be a sign of Kidney Dysfunction or Dehydration.

Probably within 4 hours you will get your reports. However, time of report generation may vary depending upon the other tests advised along with it.
