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

Our kidneys filter out waste products from our body and also maintain the level of water and other important minerals present in our body. Some other important functions of our kidneys include - facilitating the production of vitamin D, hormones, and red blood cells (RBCs) to regulate blood pressure. Hence, our kidneys have a major contribution to our health and must be monitored regularly to ensure that diseases or damages are recognized at the earliest.

Other than ordering the kidney function test for patients exhibiting symptoms of kidney damage and disease, doctors also use the test to regularly monitor the kidney function in those already diagnosed.

Some common symptoms that they look out for and you must also keep an eye out for include - blood in the urine (hematuria), painful urination, frequent urination or frequently getting the urge to pee, and experiencing discomfort when peeing.

If you have already been diagnosed with a kidney disease or with kidney damage, your doctor will order a kidney function test for you. In case you are undergoing treatment for kidney disease or damage, your doctor might order a kidney function test to monitor the effectiveness of the adopted treatment plan.

Although the kidney function test is a panel of blood tests, you are not required to fast or undergo any special preparation.
