Kidney Function Test Overview
Renal function tests (RFT) are done on urine and patient blood to establish how well the kidneys are working. They aid in the diagnosis and management of conditions affecting kidneys. They can be used for general health screening and screening of those patients who are at risk of developing a kidney disease i.e., as high blood pressure (hypertension), diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, elevated cholesterol, or a family history of kidney disease. Adjusting dosages of drugs excreted by kidneys.

The kidneys' primary function is to filter out the waste materials from our bodies in urine. A kidney function test is used to determine how well the kidneys are performing their function with the help of a blood test and urine test.

- Patients show symptoms suggestive of chronic kidney diseases, such as swelling in feet and ankles, weight loss, shortness of breath, blood in urine, and increased urination at night.
