This is a blood test for determining kidney health and function. The kidney Function test measures several parameters like creatinine, potassium, calcium, etc., and also helps calculate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which measures how efficiently the kidneys are removing waste from the system.

Overview of the Kidney Function Test

The KFT blood test with calcium and uric acid is a simple blood test that helps assess the function of the kidneys. The kidneys are crucial organs that play an important role in maintaining overall health, including filtering waste and toxins from the blood, controlling levels of water and certain essential minerals in the body, and much more. The lab test for kidney function, calcium, and uric acid checks for various parameters like bicarbonate, chloride, creatinine, urea, uric acid, calcium, potassium, etc. and is also used to calculate the GFR (glomerular filtration rate), which is a measure of the efficacy of kidney function. This test is generally used to screen and diagnose impaired kidney function. The cost of this Test  will vary based on the panel chosen. Higher than normal values in a kidney function test may be indicative of a number of issues like kidney stones, early kidney disease, etc.
