Kidney Function Test (KFT) in Coimbatore - Price & Details

Other than filtering out waste products from our blood as urine, kidneys also help maintain the level of water and other essential minerals in our body. Kidneys also contribute to the production of vitamin D, red blood cells, and hormones that aid in the regulation of blood pressure. This is why kidneys are essential to our health and must be monitored to ensure quick diagnosis in case of kidney damage or disease.

If you have been diagnosed with a kidney disease, your healthcare provider will order a kidney function test to monitor your condition over time. In case they notice you exhibiting any symptoms and want to diagnose or eliminate kidney disease, they might order one or more kidney function tests. PharmEasy’s kidney function test is a panel of different tests such as:

• Uric Acid - Evaluates the levels of uric acid in an individual’s blood
• Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN)/Serum Urea - Measures the level of waste materials found in one’s blood
• Creatinine - Evaluates the levels of creatinine, a type of waste product, present in an individual’s blood
• Calcium - Measures the amount of calcium present in one’s blood
• EGFR - Helps evaluate the filtration rate of an individual’s kidney based on multiple factors like age, gender, size, race, and protein levels
• Urea/Creatinine - Measures the ratio of urea and creatinine present in one’s blood
• BUN/Creatinine - Evaluate the ratio of BUN and creatinine present in an individual’s blood
• Urea (Calculated) - Estimates the levels of urea present in one’s blood

Although the kidney function test is a panel of multiple tests, PharmEasy offers regular discounts which makes the kidney function test in Coimbatore quite affordable. Moreover, all test samples are processed in PharmEasy Labs that are certified and equipped with fully automated and calibrated machines to ensure that patients get access to accurate test results.

In case you are exhibiting any symptoms of kidney damage or kidney disease, your doctor will assign a kidney function test. Some common symptoms of kidney disease that you must look out for include:

• Hematuria or blood in urine

In case you have been diagnosed with a kidney disease or are undergoing treatment for it, your doctor might order a kidney function test to monitor your condition. The test is also assigned if your doctor has prescribed any drug that might affect your kidney or cause any damage.
