Renal Function Test (RFT) - Basic

The Renal Function Test evaluates kidney health by measuring waste products such as creatinine and BUN, and evaluating electrolyte levels to determine kidney function and fluid balance.

People who have diabetes, high blood pressure, a family history of kidney disease, or experience symptoms like frequent urination, swelling, or changes in urine should undergo Renal function test.

The RFT process includes blood and urine examinations. Blood test checks creatinine, BUN, and electrolytes, while urine test looks at creatinine clearance and protein levels.

Signs of weak kidney function are tiredness, swelling in limbs, alterations in urine frequency/color, high blood pressure, queasiness, and trouble focusing. Routine check-ups can catch problems early for quick treatment.

Normal values can vary slightly depending on the laboratory. However, a normal BUN level is generally around 7-20 mg/dL, and a normal creatinine level is 0.84-1.21 mg/dL for women and 0.74-1.35 mg/dL for men.

Several factors can affect your RFT results, including your diet, fluid intake, certain medications, and existing medical conditions. Always discuss these factors with your healthcare provider before the test.

Maintaining a balanced diet, staying hydrated, keeping your blood pressure and blood sugar levels in check, and avoiding tobacco and excessive alcohol can help maintain healthy kidney function. Regular exercise is also beneficial.
