The way our kidneys work can be affected by factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure and other underlying health conditions. The doctor may also advise you to get a kidney function test if you notice problems with urination like painful urination, blood in urine, frequent urination, etc.

Fasting is not required to undergo the kidney function test. PharmEasy Labs will notify you in advance if there are any specific instructions to follow.

During the Kidney Function Test (KFT)

No noticeable sign or symptom is experienced while undergoing the kidney function test. Once you have booked the test on the PharmEasy website or app, a trained phlebotomist will arrive at your doorstep at the requested time to collect the blood sample. Sealed syringes, gloves, and a vein finder device are used in the process.

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.
