Doctors prescribe Kidney function test for various reasons. Individuals with known risk factors for kidney disease, such as diabetes, hypertension, or a family history of kidney problems, often undergo regular kidney function tests. These tests help in monitoring the progression of CKD and making necessary adjustments to treatment plans.

Some medications, like nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), antibiotics, and certain pain relievers, can potentially harm the kidneys. Doctors may order kidney function tests to monitor the impact of such medications, ensuring they do not harm kidney function.

Kidney function is a vital indicator of overall health. Doctors may recommend this test during routine check-ups to catch early signs of kidney dysfunction, even in the absence of specific symptoms.

Doctors may order kidney function tests to check for acute kidney injury in cases of sudden illness or injury. Early detection is crucial for prompt intervention.

Before surgeries or procedures that involve the use of contrast agents or anaesthesia, doctors may assess kidney function to ensure the patient can safely undergo the procedure without complications.

In most cases, fasting is not necessary for this test. You can usually eat and drink as usual before the test. Inform your healthcare provider about any medications, supplements, or over-the-counter drugs you are taking, as some substances may affect the test results. Your doctor will provide guidance on whether you should temporarily discontinue any medications before the test.

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.
