Kidney Function Test (KFT)

A Kidney Function Test (KFT), often referred to as a Renal Function Panel, is a vital diagnostic tool used to evaluate how effectively your kidneys are filtering waste from your blood. Since kidneys play a critical role in maintaining fluid balance, regulating blood pressure, and clearing toxins, this test is helpful for the early detection of silent conditions like Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), which often shows no symptoms in its initial stages. By measuring specific levels of urea, creatinine, and minerals, the test provides an insights into the performance of your kidneys—allowing healthcare providers to monitor existing conditions (like diabetes or hypertension) and adjust medications before permanent damage occurs.
