The kidney function test at River Diagnostics is an essential screening tool that helps assess how well your kidneys are working. Your kidneys filter waste, balance fluids, control blood pressure, and regulate vital minerals. When your kidneys are compromised, early signs often go unnoticed. That’s why River Diagnostics provides reliable kidney function tests (KFTs) to support early detection and preventive care.
What Is a Kidney Function Test?
A kidney function test involves several blood and urine tests to evaluate kidney performance. These tests measure waste levels, minerals, and electrolytes that are filtered through your kidneys.
Key parameters include:
- Serum Creatinine
- Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN)
- Uric Acid
- Electrolytes (Sodium, Potassium, Chloride)
- Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)
These results help determine whether your kidneys are efficiently filtering blood and maintaining chemical balance.
Why You Might Need a Kidney Function Test at River Diagnostics
Doctors recommend a KFT for many reasons:
- Persistent fatigue or swelling
- High blood pressure or diabetes
- History of kidney stones or urinary issues
- Use of nephrotoxic medications
- Routine health checkups for early detection
Even if you’re asymptomatic, regular kidney testing is important for adults over 40 or anyone at risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Benefits of Early Kidney Screening
Chronic kidney disease often develops slowly and silently. A kidney function test at River Diagnostics can:
- Detect early-stage kidney damage
- Help manage diabetes or hypertension better
- Monitor effects of medications
- Prevent complications like kidney failure
The earlier a problem is detected, the more effectively it can be managed or even reversed through lifestyle changes and medication.
