FAQs Renal Function Test

How Often Should I Get a Renal Function Test?

Generally, doctors advise renal function tests every year, especially for patients aged above 60, to check their kidney health and functioning. The test is recommended more often for patients who are at high risk of kidney disease, like diabetics and hypertensive patients, as well as kidney patients who want to monitor their treatment progress.

The normal ranges of renal function tests are determined and interpreted by your doctor. Normal ranges of some of the common parameters in KFT are serum creatinine: 0.6-1.1 mg/dL (for adult females), 0.7-1.3 mg/dL (for adult males); Uric Acid: 3-4 mg/dL (for children); 2.4-6.0 mg/dL (for adult females); 3.4-7 mg/dL (for adult males); Urea- 2.5 to 7.5 mmol/L; Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR): 90 ml/min or higher; BUN/Creatinine Ratio- 12:1 to 20:1.

In order to understand whether your kidneys are functioning correctly, you may consult a  general physician or a kidney specialist (Nephrologist). Your consulting doctor may advise you to take a KFT, urine routine test or kindey imaging test.

The common warning signs of kidney disease are blood in urine, frequent urination, foamy urine, uremia, swelling around the ankle, feet, and hands due to fluid retention, etc.

Doctors recommend cutting down on sugars/salts/unhealthy fats intake; being physically active; maintaining normal blood pressure and glucose levels; maintaining healthy body weight; taking adequate rest; avoiding smoking and alcohol consumption; having enough water; and staying stress-free.
