Doctors prescribe kidney function tests when they need to assess the health of a patient’s kidneys, diagnose kidney conditions, or monitor the progression of kidney disease. These tests are also crucial for evaluating how well the kidneys are filtering waste from the blood. Additionally, healthcare providers may recommend kidney function tests to monitor the effects of certain medications on the kidneys. This is done if the drugs are known to potentially impact kidney health or when a patient is on long-term medication that requires careful dosage control and monitoring.

To prepare for a kidney function test, patients may be advised to fast or avoid certain foods and medications that could affect the results. It’s important to follow any specific instructions provided by the healthcare provider, such as maintaining hydration or temporarily discontinuing specific supplements.

During the Kidney Function Test

During the kidney function test, skilled PharmEasy phlebotomists utilise advanced vein finders to efficiently locate the veins for blood sample collection. This state-of-the-art equipment ensures a smooth process, reflecting PharmEasy's commitment to incorporating technological advancements for enhanced patient experience.

The normal values, parameters, and reference ranges of the tests may vary from lab to lab. Please refer to the ranges mentioned in the report and consult a doctor to understand the interpretation of lab reports.

If the values of the RFT tests are higher or lower than the normal range, it means that there is an underlying renal disease condition. The results of each test help the doctor to get a better picture of the overall health of the kidneys. Having an abnormal RFT value in just one of the components of the renal function test may not confirm a kidney disease. The test results of RFT are to be matched with the patient's medical history and health status.
