Kidney Function Test (KFT)

Check Your Kidney Health: Kidney Function Test (KFT)

Your kidneys are essential for maintaining overall health and balance in your body. These vital organs filter waste and excess fluids from your blood, regulate electrolytes, control blood pressure, and produce hormones that support bone and red blood cell health. However, kidney problems can often develop silently until they become severe, making regular monitoring crucial.

The Kidney Function Test (KFT) is a comprehensive blood test that evaluates key markers such as creatinine, urea, and electrolytes like sodium, potassium, chloride, and carbon dioxide. These parameters provide critical insights into how well your kidneys are functioning, helping to detect conditions such as chronic kidney disease, kidney infections, or imbalances that could lead to complications.

Invest in your kidney health today. Book your Kidney Function Test (KFT) now and take the first step toward understanding and protecting your kidneys.

The KFT is essential for:
  • Early Detection of Kidney Disease: Identifies potential kidney issues before symptoms appear.
  • Monitoring Chronic Conditions: Helps manage chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, or kidney disease.
  • Preventing Complications: Detects imbalances that can lead to conditions like electrolyte disorders.
  • Assessing Symptoms: Provides clarity on symptoms like swelling, fatigue, or changes in urine output.

The KFT provides vital information by:
  • Measuring Creatinine Levels: Assesses waste buildup in the blood, a key indicator of kidney performance.
  • Evaluating Urea Levels: Provides insights into the kidney’s ability to filter waste products effectively.
  • Analyzing Electrolytes (Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, Carbon Dioxide): Monitors your body’s fluid and pH balance and kidney function.
  • Assessing Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR): Estimates how effectively your kidneys are filtering blood.

This test is recommended if you:
  • Experience symptoms such as swollen feet, fatigue, or frequent urination.
  • Have a history of diabetes, high blood pressure, or kidney disease.
  • Take medications that may affect kidney function.
  • Have a family history of kidney problems.
  • Are an adult and wish to monitor kidney health proactively.

After receiving your KFT results:
  • Normal Results: Indicate healthy kidney function and no immediate concerns. Regular check-ups can help maintain this health.
  • Abnormal Results: May suggest reduced filtration ability, kidney damage or imbalances. Additional tests or imaging may be recommended to determine the underlying cause.
  • Follow-Up Care: Depending on the findings, your healthcare provider may suggest lifestyle changes, dietary modifications, medications, or further interventions to protect kidney health.
