Overview of the Renal Profile/Renal Function Test
The Renal Function Test (RFT), also known as the Kidney Function Test (KFT), is a comprehensive set of tests designed to evaluate the functioning and health of the kidneys. These tests assess how well the kidneys are filtering waste products, regulating electrolytes, and maintaining overall renal health.
The RFT test includes measurements of glucose, electrolytes, minerals, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), proteins, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). By assessing these components, doctors can diagnose kidney disorders, monitor kidney function, and guide treatment plans for patients with renal issues.

Renal Profile/Renal Function Test Requirements
To undergo a kidney profile test in Delhi, you will need to provide a blood sample. The sample collection process is simple and typically involves the following steps:
- Fasting: You may be asked to fast for 8-12 hours before the test to ensure accurate results.
- Blood Sample Collection: A trained phlebotomist will clean the area on your arm and insert a needle to draw a small amount of blood into a tube. The process is simple and quick with minimal pain. The collected blood sample will be labelled and sent to a laboratory for analysis.
It is important to inform your healthcare provider about any medications you are taking, as some may affect the test results.
Tests Included in Renal Profile/Renal Function Test
The test consists of several individual tests that collectively provide a comprehensive assessment of kidney health. Here are the key tests included in the kidney profile test in Delhi:
- Creatinine - Serum: Measures the level of creatinine, a waste product from muscle metabolism. Elevated levels indicate impaired kidney function.
- Urea: Measures the level of urea, a waste product from protein metabolism. Elevated levels can indicate kidney dysfunction, but can also be influenced by other factors.
- Blood Urea Nitrogen: Similar to urea, the nitrogen content in urea is measured to assess kidney function. It is affected by factors such as dehydration and certain medications.
- Uric Acid - Serum: Measures the level of uric acid, a waste product from the breakdown of purines. Elevated levels can indicate kidney dysfunction or gout.
- Calcium - Serum: Measures the level of calcium in the blood to assess its balance, which is regulated by the kidneys. Abnormal levels can indicate kidney disease or other metabolic disorders.
- Phosphorus, Inorganic - Serum: Measures the level of phosphorus in the blood, which is crucial for bone health and cellular functions. Kidneys regulate phosphorus balance by controlling its excretion in urine.
- Sodium - Serum: Measures the level of sodium in the blood, an electrolyte crucial for fluid balance and nerve function. Kidneys adjust sodium excretion to maintain balance.
- Potassium - Serum/Plasma: Measures the level of potassium in the blood, an electrolyte vital for muscle and nerve function.
- Chloride - Serum: Measures the level of chloride in the blood, an electrolyte important for maintaining fluid balance.
- Protein, Total - Serum: Measures the total level of proteins in the blood, including albumin and globulin. Abnormal levels can indicate kidney or liver disorders.
- Albumin - Serum: Measures the level of albumin, a key protein that the kidneys should retain. Decreased levels can indicate kidney damage or malnutrition.
- Globulin: Measures the level of globulins, a group of proteins that includes antibodies and enzymes. Abnormal levels can indicate liver or kidney disorders.
- A/G Ratio: Calculates the ratio of albumin to globulin in the blood. An abnormal ratio can suggest liver or kidney problems.
Optional Test Include:
- Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR): Estimates the glomerular filtration rate using serum creatinine levels along with demographic factors. It indicates how well the kidneys are filtering waste.
Who should get the Renal Profile/Renal Function Test done?
The Renal Profile or Renal Function Test (RFT) should be considered by the following individuals:
1. People with Chronic Conditions: People with chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, or heart disease should undergo the RFT test as these conditions can damage or strain the kidneys and affect their ability to function.
2. Individuals with a Family History of Kidney Disease: A family history of kidney disease, such as polycystic kidney disease, increases the risk, making it essential to monitor kidney function regularly.
3. Patients with Symptoms of Kidney Dysfunction: Common symptoms that warrant kidney function testing include:
- Swelling in the hands, feet, or face (oedema)
- Persistent fatigue
- Difficulty urinating, frequent urination, or changes in urine colour
- Blood in urine
- Unexplained itching
4. People Taking Medications that Affect Kidneys: Certain drugs, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) some antibiotics, and chemotherapeutic agents, can affect kidney function, so regular monitoring is recommended.
5. Individuals with Frequent Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Recurrent UTIs can sometimes lead to kidney infections or damage so RFTs may be recommended in these cases.
6. Those with a History of Kidney Stones: Kidney stones can affect kidney function, making RFTs necessary to ensure kidney health.
7. Individuals Exposed to Environmental Toxins: Long-term exposure to toxins such as heavy metals can impair kidney function so testing may be appropriate for certain occupational exposures.

The kidney function test price in Delhi can vary depending on several factors, such as the healthcare provider, the specific tests included in the package, and any additional services offered. On average, the KFT test price in Delhi ranges from Rs. 550 to Rs. 950. It is essential to compare prices and services from different providers to find the most suitable option for your needs and budget.
