If you have any health condition like diabetes, high blood pressure, or coronary artery disease, you will be prescribed the kidney function test.

The test is also prescribed when the doctor observes any symptoms of kidney disorder. The symptoms are:

• Changes in the quantity of urine
• Urinating frequently
• Muscle pain
• Fluctuations in the body weight
• Nausea
• Vomiting

You do not have to make any preparations before the kidney function test. However, some supplements, vitamins, and medicines can affect the test result. Inform the doctor about the medicines before the test so they can make suggestions.

During the Kidney Function Test

After the booking has been made, an experienced phlebotomist is assigned who will arrive at the specified location to collect the blood. To maintain hygiene, they use fresh disposable kits that contain sterilised needles and gloves. The blood is stored in barcoded vials, kept in cooling containers, and then sent to the laboratory for testing.

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.
