Overview

Kidney Function tests are group of tests ordered to understand how well the Kidneys are performing. The Kidney Function tests include Electrolytes, Albumin, Creatinine, BUN etc.

Renal function tests are a group of tests that are used to evaluate the functioning of the kidneys. A complete blood count (CBC) can provide information on the overall health of the individual, while a urine routine test can detect any abnormalities in the urine such as the presence of blood or protein. Fasting blood sugar (FBS) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) can provide information on glucose and nitrogen metabolism, respectively. Creatinine, uric acid, proteins, calcium, phosphorus, and electrolytes can provide information on kidney function and metabolism. Alkaline phosphatase and bicarbonate levels can also provide information on kidney function and overall health. These tests are typically ordered together to get a comprehensive understanding of the kidney's function.

Kidneys approximately filter about 150 quarts of blood each day. The kidneys are the organs that produce urine and expels excess water from the body along with waste products. Kidney function tests are a group of tests that help your doctor understand how well your kidneys are performing. The tests measure levels of various substances, including several minerals, electrolytes, proteins, and glucose (sugar), in the blood to determine the current status of the kidneys.

Renal (Kidney) Function Tests-1 RFT Maxi measures CBC, Urine routine, FBS, BUN, Creatinine, Uric Acid, Proteins, Ca, P, Electrolytes, Alkaline Phosphatase, and Bicarbonate.

This test requires a blood sample. A tourniquet (elastic) band is placed tightly on the upper arm. The patient is then asked to make a fist. This helps in the build-up of blood filling the veins. The skin is disinfected before needle insertion and the blood sample is collected in vacutainer.

During collection of urine, you need to provide a sample of urine in a clean and properly labeled container. It is recommended to clean your genital area before providing the sample. You may be asked to avoid certain foods or medications prior to providing the sample as they can affect the results.

A positive result for a kidney function test can indicate a variety of issues with the kidneys. The specific test results will provide more information about what is causing the dysfunction. Here is a brief overview of what some of the positive test results may indicate:

  • Complete Blood Count (CBC): A high white blood cell count could indicate an infection or inflammation in the kidneys.
  • Urine Routine: Protein or blood in the urine can be a sign of kidney damage or disease.
  • Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS): High blood sugar levels can be a sign of diabetes, which is a leading cause of kidney disease.
  • Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) and Creatinine: High levels of these waste products in the blood can indicate that the kidneys are not functioning properly.
  • Uric Acid: High levels of uric acid can indicate gout, a condition that can damage the kidneys.
  • Proteins: High levels of proteins in the urine can indicate that there is damage to the kidneys, allowing proteins to leak into the urine.
  • Calcium, Phosphorus, and Electrolytes: These levels can be affected by kidney dysfunction and may indicate a problem with bone health as well.
  • Alkaline Phosphatase: Elevated levels can indicate liver or bone disease, which can be related to kidney dysfunction.
  • Bicarbonate: Low levels can indicate metabolic acidosis, a condition where the body has too much acid and not enough bicarbonate, which can be caused by kidney dysfunction.
