What is a Kidney Function Test (KFT / RFT)?

The Kidney Function Test (KFT), also known as the Renal Function Test (RFT), is an essential diagnostic blood screening panel that checks how effectively your kidneys filter metabolic wastes and fluid from your bloodstream. Healthy kidneys filter out creatinine, urea, and excess salts while keeping essential proteins in the body. An imbalance in these blood markers is the earliest indicator of kidney dysfunction, chronic kidney disease (CKD), high blood pressure strain, or diabetic nephropathy.

Parameters Evaluated in the Agilus Mohali KFT Panel

Standardized clinical parameters reported with automated accuracy:

Parameter Diagnostic Importance Normal Reference Range
Serum Creatinine Key waste product of muscle metabolism; primary benchmark of kidney filtration 0.7 – 1.3 mg/dL (M) / 0.5 – 1.1 mg/dL (F)
Blood Urea End product of protein breakdown produced in liver and cleared by kidneys 15 – 40 mg/dL
Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) Specific nitrogen component of urea; assesses hydration & kidney clearance 7 – 20 mg/dL
BUN / Creatinine Ratio Distinguishes between pre-renal dehydration and intrinsic kidney disease 10:1 to 20:1
Serum Uric Acid Byproduct of purine breakdown; elevated levels trigger Gout and kidney stones 3.5 – 7.2 mg/dL (M) / 2.6 – 6.0 mg/dL (F)
Serum Calcium Monitors mineral metabolism governed by kidney vitamin D activation 8.8 – 10.2 mg/dL
Serum Phosphorus Evaluates calcium-phosphate balance and parathyroid/renal health 2.5 – 4.5 mg/dL
Sodium (Na+) Maintains fluid balance, blood volume, and osmotic pressure 136 – 145 mEq/L
Potassium (K+) Critical electrolyte regulating heartbeat; accumulates when kidneys fail 3.5 – 5.1 mEq/L
Chloride (Cl-) Assists in maintaining proper acid-base and fluid equilibrium 98 – 107 mEq/L

Who Should Get a Kidney Function Test?

  • People diagnosed with High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) or Diabetes.
  • Swelling (edema) in ankles, feet, legs, or puffiness around the eyes.
  • Frequent urination at night or painful, foamy, or discolored urine.
  • Patients with history of kidney stones or high uric acid (gout).
  • Individuals taking pain relievers (NSAIDs) or long-term medication.
  • Unexplained fatigue, difficulty concentrating, or metallic taste in the mouth.

Test Preparation Guidelines

Fasting Status: Strict overnight fasting is not strictly mandatory for a standalone KFT, but morning sample collection (fasting or after light hydration) is strongly recommended for standard electrolyte consistency.

If you are having a KFT as part of a Full Body Health Checkup or combined with Fasting Blood Sugar/Lipids, 10-12 hours fasting is required.
