During the Kidney Function Test

The kidney function test is a blood test, and the phlebotomist will arrive to collect the blood sample. They arrive at the specified location on the specified date and time, and draw the blood in a hygienic and safe manner. The phlebotomists have sterilised disposable gloves and needles, and a vein finder tool. This is a very handy tool that helps them draw blood from the ideal vein in the forearm, reducing patient discomfort. The process is streamlined and organised, and will be done in 5 to 10 minutes.

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.
