A Renal Profile or Kidney Function Test (RFT/KFT) is a group of diagnostic assessments that are used to determine the health of the kidneys by evaluating various parameters such as proteins, electrolytes, and minerals. Kidneys not only flush out waste and toxins from our body through urine but also aid in the production of vitamin D, red blood cells and blood pressure-regulating hormones. Therefore, keeping your kidneys healthy should be a primary aim and this is where a Kft test comes in handy.

The top RFT/KFT tests are available in Anna Nagar, Alwarpet, T. Nagar, Adyar, Velachery.

Apollo 24|7’s KFT test is specially designed to ascertain how well the kidneys are functioning, and if there are any abnormalities that need immediate attention.

faqFrequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What lifestyle adjustments should I consider before undergoing a renal function test to ensure the most accurate results?

Before you undertake a kidney function test, it could be helpful to make certain lifestyle adjustments. These changes may include reducing alcohol intake, eating a balanced diet, and maintaining adequate hydration levels.

If my renal function blood test results fall outside the normal range, what are the next steps? Should I consult a specialist or make specific lifestyle changes?

If your test results are not within the normal range of the kidney function test, it's recommended that you discuss your results with your doctor. They may refer you to a specialist or suggest lifestyle modifications, depending on your unique situation.

Are there any alternative or complementary tests to consider alongside a renal function test for a more comprehensive assessment of renal health?

Yes, along with your renal function test, other assessments like urine tests or imaging studies such as an ultrasound scan may provide a more comprehensive view of your kidney health.

Can children or adolescents benefit from a complete renal function test, and if so, at what age should it be initiated?

Yes, children or adolescents can benefit from a complete renal function test if they have symptoms suggesting kidney problems. The decision about when to initiate testing is best made in consultation with their paediatrician.

How often should I review or retest my renal function, especially if I've made lifestyle changes or started medication?

Regular monitoring of your kidney health is important, especially if you've made significant lifestyle changes or started new medication. Your doctor will guide you on how frequently you should take the kidney function test.

Is there any specific guidance for individuals with a family history of kidney disease regarding renal function test frequency and interpretation?

If you have a family history of kidney disease, it is crucial to regularly undergo a kidney function test. This early detection method helps to monitor your renal health closely, and doctors can interpret results against the kidney function test normal range to identify potential issues.

Are there any emerging technologies or advancements in renal function testing that I should be aware of?

Yes, technological advancements have significantly enhanced the efficiency and patient-friendliness of renal function testing, utilising portable devices for home use and digital platforms offering tele-consultations. To access these innovations conveniently, simply search for kidney function tests near me to locate facilities offering these benefits.

What role does genetic testing play in assessing renal function levels, and when might it be recommended alongside traditional renal function testing?

Genetic testing can identify inherited kidney diseases that may not show early symptoms but can impact your renal health over time. Hence, if you have a family history of such conditions, your doctor might recommend genetic testing alongside the standard KFT test.

Can I drink water before a renal function test?

Yes, drinking water before a renal function test is generally permissible and may even be encouraged to ensure proper hydration. However, it's advisable to follow any specific fasting instructions provided by your doctor to obtain accurate test results.

What is the Importance of Annual Health Check?

Annual health checks are essential for preventive care. These checkups allow early detection of potential health issues, thus improving the prognosis. Annual checkups help assess the need for interventions or adjustments in the current treatment plan for pre-existing illnesses. This checkup can also help you save tax under section 80 D.
