Overview
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

Limitations

Test Result Interpretation
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.
Ranges

Uric acid | 2.5- 6.2 mg/dL |
BUN | 7-17 mg/dL |
Creatinine | 0.66 - 1.25 mg/dL |
BUN: Creatinine ratio | 9:1-23:1 |
Calcium | 8.4 – 10.2 mg/dL |
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.
