Kidney Function Test (KFT) - Advance

600

The Kidney Function Test - Advanced includes various blood tests and is ideal for people with diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney stones, urinary tract infections that keep coming back, and swelling in the legs or face. It is also useful for keeping an eye on people with kidney disease or those taking medicine that might affect the kidneys. 

 

The test includes Blood Urea Nitrogen and Serum Urea, which measure the things in the blood that come from breaking down protein and help figure out if the kidneys are getting rid of them as they should. Serum Creatinine, Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate, and the BUN/Creatinine Ratio give information about how well the kidneys are filtering waste. 

 

Serum Uric Acid helps find out if there is a lot of uric acid in the blood, which can cause gout or kidney stones. Serum Calcium and Serum Inorganic Phosphorus check the balance of minerals in the body, which can be affected by kidney disease. Serum Total Protein, Albumin, and Globulin help figure out if the body is getting nutrients, if protein is in balance, and if any conditions might affect the kidneys. 

Finding kidney problems early means that doctors can give the treatment and people can get the care they need to slow down the disease, prevent complications, and stay healthy. The Kidney Function Test – Advanced is very important for people who are at risk of kidney diseases and it helps them get the right care to keep their kidneys working well. The test is also useful for people who already have kidney disease, as it helps doctors keep track of how the disease is progressing and make any necessary changes to their treatment plan.
