The KFT (Kidney Function Test) or RFT (Renal Function Test) in Delhi NCR and West Delhi is a group of blood and urine tests used to evaluate how well the kidneys are functioning. These tests provide accurate and reliable results by measuring various substances in the blood and urine processed by the kidneys and are available across Delhi NCR, including West Delhi, New Delhi, Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram, Faridabad, and Dadri. They help detect early signs of kidney damage or dysfunction, ensuring timely intervention for better kidney health.
Key Components of KFT/RFT:
Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN): Measures urea nitrogen in the blood, a waste product from protein breakdown. Elevated levels may indicate kidney problems, dehydration, or other related conditions.
Serum Creatinine: Monitors creatinine levels from muscle metabolism. High levels can suggest impaired kidney function.
Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR): Estimates kidney function based on creatinine, age, and gender, helping identify decreased kidney performance.
Urine Protein: Detects protein in urine, which can signal early kidney damage.
Urine Creatinine: Assesses creatinine levels in urine and is used to evaluate kidney function or calculate the albumin-to-creatinine ratio.
Urine Albumin: Checks for albumin presence, a sign of potential kidney damage, especially in patients with diabetes or hypertension.
Purpose of the KFT/RFT:
Assess kidney health: Recommended for individuals at risk of kidney disease, including those with diabetes, hypertension, or a family history of kidney conditions.
Detect kidney damage early: KFT/RFT can identify abnormalities before symptoms appear, allowing for prompt treatment.
Monitor chronic kidney disease (CKD): Helps track disease progression and effectiveness of ongoing treatment.
Pre-procedure kidney evaluation: Ensures safe medical procedures or medications that may affect kidney function.
These Kidney Function Tests are available at CoreLab Diagnostics across Delhi NCR, including West Delhi, New Delhi, Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram, Faridabad, and Dadri, with accurate results and convenient home sample collection, helping patients monitor and maintain kidney health effectively.
