The PharmEasy KFT test is comprehensive and gives a detailed look into your kidney function by checking the following parameters-
- Uric acid: high uric acid levels are a sign of malfunctioning kidneys and may lead to gout
- Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN)/Serum Urea: this indicates the level or severity of the kidney disease
- Calcium (Ca): high calcium levels are also a sign of kidney problems. This may lead to further problems like kidney stones or heart disorders.
- Creatinine: creatinine is a waste product expelled by the kidneys. Untreated, this may lead to chronic kidney disease.
- EGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate gives an idea of the functioning capability of the kidneys after factoring in age, sex, weight and body type.
- BUN/Creatinine Ratio: a high ratio of BUN to creatinine indicates that enough blood is not reaching your kidneys for filtration, and this could be a result of a cardiac disorder.
- Urea/Creatinine Ratio: the value of this ratio tells the doctor if the patient is approaching prerenal renal failure.
- Urea (Calculated): elevated urea levels can indicate the onset of kidney disorders long before symptoms appear.
Test Necessity
The kidney function test is prescribed by a doctor as part of a regular health check up if a person has diabetes or high blood pressure. This helps to detect kidney disease in the very early stages when treatment is the most effective.
KFT is also prescribed when a person shows signs of kidney damage-
- Low volume of urine production
- Swelling of ankles, feet, and legs due to fluid retention
- Breathlessness
- Arrhythmia
- Fatigue
- Nausea
- Muscle cramps
- Pain in the back under the ribs along both sides
Test Preparation
No special preparation is needed for the KFT. You can eat, drink fluids and water like normal before the test. Let your doctor know if you are already under medication or are taking supplements. If there is a possibility that these can affect the report, you will be advised to take them after the test.
During the KFT Test
For the KFT, a phlebotomist will arrive at the address you provided while booking the appointment for home collection. Using a vein finder, the phlebotomist will quickly locate the required vein and draw a small quantity of blood. It will be sealed in a tube and then taken to the Lab.
