Detect kidney impairment early
Elevated creatinine and urea, or reduced eGFR, indicate kidney dysfunction – often before symptoms appear, enabling early intervention.
Kidney function tests (KFTs), also known as renal function tests, are a group of blood and urine tests that evaluate how well your kidneys are working. They measure waste products like creatinine and urea, as well as electrolytes and minerals that are regulated by the kidneys. These tests are essential for detecting kidney disease early, monitoring chronic conditions, and guiding treatment decisions.
The kidneys are vital organs that filter waste from your blood, regulate blood pressure, maintain electrolyte balance, and produce hormones that support bone health. Kidney disease is often silent – symptoms may not appear until function is significantly impaired, making regular screening crucial for early detection and prevention of progression to kidney failure.
At Amytri, our kidney function tests are performed using fully automated analysers with stringent quality controls. Results are validated by experienced pathologists and shared with your nephrologist or physician. We also offer home sample collection for your convenience.
The kidneys filter over 180 litres of blood daily. KFTs provide a window into their function – helping prevent, detect, and manage kidney disease.
Elevated creatinine and urea, or reduced eGFR, indicate kidney dysfunction – often before symptoms appear, enabling early intervention.
For patients with diabetes, hypertension, or known CKD, regular KFTs monitor disease progression and guide medication adjustments.
Early detection of rising creatinine or proteinuria allows timely treatment (blood pressure control, ACE inhibitors, lifestyle changes) to slow progression and prevent dialysis.
We offer a full range of kidney tests – from basic screening to comprehensive renal panels – to give you and your doctor a complete picture.
Creatinine is a waste product filtered by the kidneys. eGFR (estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate) is calculated from creatinine – a value below 60 mL/min/1.73m² indicates kidney dysfunction.
Urea is a waste product from protein metabolism. Elevated BUN occurs in kidney disease, dehydration, or high protein intake. The BUN/Creatinine ratio helps differentiate causes.
High uric acid can cause gout and kidney stones. It may also indicate reduced kidney function or certain metabolic disorders.
Kidneys regulate electrolyte balance. Abnormal sodium, potassium, chloride, or bicarbonate levels can indicate kidney disease, dehydration, or adrenal disorders.
Urine analysis detects protein, blood, pus cells, crystals, and casts – providing essential clues to kidney and urinary tract disorders.
Urine Albumin/Creatinine Ratio detects early kidney damage (microalbuminuria) – especially important in diabetes and hypertension for preventing progression.
Fasting for 8–12 hours is recommended (water only) for accurate creatinine and electrolyte results. Inform us about any medications (diuretics, ACE inhibitors) you are taking.
A trained phlebotomist collects a venous blood sample. You will also be asked to provide a urine sample (random or 24‑hour collection depending on the test).
Samples are processed on fully automated analysers using validated methods. Results are reviewed by experienced pathologists before release.
Reports are ready within 24 hours and delivered via WhatsApp or email. We provide reference ranges, eGFR values, and flag abnormal results for easy interpretation.
KFTs are essential for anyone with risk factors for kidney disease, as well as for routine health screening.
Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure. Annual KFTs with microalbuminuria testing are essential for all diabetic patients.
Hypertension damages kidney blood vessels – regular KFTs monitor kidney health and guide blood pressure management.
Swelling in the legs, face, or hands, or changes in urine frequency/colour may indicate kidney dysfunction – KFTs can confirm.
If you have a family history of polycystic kidney disease, Alport syndrome, or other inherited kidney conditions, early screening is advised.
NSAIDs, ACE inhibitors, ARBs, and certain antibiotics can affect kidney function – regular KFTs ensure safety.
Including KFTs in your annual health screening ensures any silent kidney issues are caught early, especially as you age.
Dr. Abhishek oversees all kidney function testing at Amytri, ensuring that each result is accurate and clinically reliable. He works closely with nephrologists, diabetologists, and primary care physicians to interpret complex KFT patterns and guide further investigation – from imaging (renal ultrasound) to specialist referral.
Kidney function testing can be a step toward better health – having your partner or family member with you provides support and shared understanding.
We welcome partners during blood and urine collection. They can sit with you, ask questions, and help remember the doctor's advice. Shared understanding makes lifestyle changes and treatment easier.
KFTs are a panel of blood and urine tests that measure creatinine, urea, uric acid, electrolytes, and eGFR – evaluating how well your kidneys filter waste and regulate fluids and minerals.
Yes, fasting for 8–12 hours is recommended (water only). This ensures accurate baseline values, especially for creatinine and electrolytes that can be affected by food intake.
eGFR (estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate) is calculated from your creatinine level, age, and sex. It estimates how much blood your kidneys filter per minute – a value below 60 mL/min/1.73m² indicates reduced kidney function.
KFT reports are ready within 24 hours. We send them via WhatsApp or email, or you can collect them in person.
Yes! We offer home sample collection for all KFTs. A trained phlebotomist will visit you at your convenience.
A prescription is recommended for targeted testing, but you can also walk in for KFT screening without a prescription. Our doctor can advise you on the appropriate tests.
