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

The kidney is a vital organ in the body responsible for numerous essential functions. The kidneys filter out waste and extra substances from your blood, balance fluids, and control blood pressure. When kidney function is hindered, it can cause a buildup of waste, resulting in health problems.

Signs of kidney dysfunction include unexplained swelling in the face and feet, unexpected weight changes, nausea, fatigue, vomiting, and muscle pain or cramps.

It's important to assess kidney function through tests like the KFT. The Kidney Function test package offered by PharmEasy includes eight tests:

• Uric Acid
• Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN)/Serum Urea
• Calcium (Ca)
• Creatinine
• EGFR
• BUN/Creatinine Ratio

Regular KFT tests are crucial for understanding kidney function and detecting issues early. These results enable timely intervention and help manage conditions like hypertension, coronary artery disease, and diabetes. If there's a family history of kidney disease, these tests become even more important for proactive health management.

No special preparation such as fasting is needed for the Kidney Function test. However, it is important to inform your doctor about any medications or health supplements you are taking as they can impact the results. The information will help them accurately interpret your test results.

During the Kidney Function Test (KFT)

PharmEasy ensures a safe, secure, and quick sample collection process. The technicians wear masks and gloves while drawing the blood sample. They use fresh testing kits and a Vein Finder tool that helps in easily locating the veins. The whole procedure is finished in just 3-5 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.
