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

The Kidney Function Test (KFT)  is a group of tests designed to check the functioning of the kidney. It is also known as the Renal Function Test (RFT). It measures components like Calcium, Uric Acid, Creatinine, BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen), and BUN/Creatinine Ratio in the blood. The test helps diagnose inflammation, infection, or damage in the kidneys.

A positive result may indicate conditions like Acute Renal Failure or Chronic Kidney Disease, prompting additional tests for accurate diagnosis. Regular RFTs are essential for those with diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, or a family history of kidney issues.

A Kidney Function test is crucial for early detection of kidney diseases. Individuals with diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and a family history of kidney issues are advised to undergo regular KFTs. Considering the interconnected nature of diabetes, heart disease, and kidney problems, this test is vital in monitoring and managing these conditions. The test is prescribed by doctors to evaluate kidney functions, identify potential problems, and initiate timely intervention.

A Kidney Function test involves taking a blood sample to check various components. Fasting is not required before providing the blood sample. It's essential to inform your doctor about all ongoing medications, vitamins, and supplements before taking the test.
