The Kidney Function Test (KFT) is an essential biochemical evaluation that measures substances such as urea, creatinine, sodium, potassium, and other electrolytes to determine the kidney’s ability to filter waste and maintain fluid balance. These markers reflect renal efficiency and help detect early functional impairment before symptoms appear.

KFT testing is performed using high-accuracy biochemical analyzers for reliable, consistent results. The test is particularly important for individuals with diabetes, hypertension, urinary tract infections, or a family history of kidney disorders. Regular screening allows early intervention, helping prevent chronic kidney disease progression and related complications.

Doctors also recommend this test to monitor kidney response to medications, evaluate dehydration and electrolyte imbalances, or assess renal function before surgical procedures. The procedure requires only a small blood sample and is completed quickly, ensuring convenience and comfort for patients.

KFT results provide valuable information about glomerular filtration rate, waste clearance efficiency, and electrolyte balance. Abnormal values guide further diagnostic testing or therapeutic adjustments to protect kidney health.
