About the Kidney Function Test (KFT)
A kidney function test (KFT or RFT) checks blood urea, creatinine, uric acid and key salts to see how well your kidneys filter waste. It helps detect kidney disease early, guides medicine doses and is advised in diabetes and high blood pressure, which commonly affect the kidneys.
Symptoms and situations where this test helps
- Swelling of feet or face, foamy urine, or reduced urine output
- Diabetes, high blood pressure or a family history of kidney disease
- Long-term use of painkillers or other medicines that can affect kidneys
- Gout or high uric acid, and kidney stones
Understanding your results
A rising creatinine or urea can mean the kidneys are not clearing waste well. High uric acid is linked with gout and stones. Abnormal sodium or potassium need prompt attention. Creatinine depends on muscle mass and hydration, so your doctor uses the eGFR and repeat tests to judge kidney function.
What your doctor may advise next
If results are abnormal, your doctor may advise a urine albumin test, a kidney ultrasound or a repeat test after hydration.
