Hi Doctor, I have been experiencing high BP 130/92. As advised, I got KFT and LFT done. The reports are normal except for slightly high total protein in KFT and low urea levels. Should I also undergo an eGFR test at this stage?

These changes may suggest mild kidney function changes. eGFR helps assess actual filtration. It is advisable to get it done.

Dr. Ezhilarasan Suggests...

Take a eGFR Test (Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate) Test or Take a Urine ACR Test Test
