Kidney Function Test (KFT)

Urea, Creatinine, Electrolytes – to assess renal health.

Parameters Included:

1. Urea

   • Parameter Included:

     • Urea Level: Indicates kidney’s ability to filter waste. High levels may signal kidney dysfunction.

2. Creatinine

   • Parameter Included:

     • Creatinine Level: A waste product that the kidneys filter out. Elevated levels can indicate impaired kidney function.

3. Electrolytes:

   • Parameters Included:

     • Sodium (Na): Helps regulate fluid balance and blood pressure. Low or high levels may indicate kidney issues.

     • Potassium (K): Essential for heart and muscle function. Kidney dysfunction may cause abnormal potassium levels.

     • Chloride (Cl): Helps maintain proper balance of fluids in and out of cells, and changes can signal kidney problems.

     • Bicarbonate (HCO3): Helps maintain pH balance in the blood. Altered levels may indicate kidney disease.

Summary of Parameters:

• Urea: 1 parameter

• Creatinine: 1 parameter

• Electrolytes: 4 parameters (Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, Bicarbonate)

Total Parameters: 6 parameters across the Kidney Function Test.
