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.
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 Gurgaon:
- 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.
Signs you Need to Get this Renal Profile/Renal Function Test Done
Here are some signs that indicate you may need to get a renal profile or renal function test (RFT) done:
- Swelling: Noticeable swelling in the legs, ankles, or around the eyes (oedema) can indicate fluid retention due to kidney dysfunction.
- Changes in Urination: Experiencing frequent urination, reduced urination, or changes in urine colour (such as dark or foamy urine) may signal kidney issues.
- Fatigue: Persistent fatigue or weakness that doesn't improve with rest can be a symptom of impaired kidney function.
- Blood in Urine: The presence of blood in the urine (hematuria) is a concerning sign that requires immediate testing.
- Persistent Itching: Unexplained and persistent itching can be associated with the accumulation of waste products in the blood due to kidney failure.
- High Blood Pressure: Hypertension that is difficult to control may indicate underlying kidney problems.
- Nausea and Vomiting: Frequent nausea, vomiting, or a loss of appetite can be symptoms of kidney dysfunction.
- Shortness of Breath: Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, especially when lying down, may be related to fluid overload due to kidney issues.
- Family History: A family history of kidney disease, such as polycystic kidney disease, may warrant testing even in the absence of symptoms.
- Chronic Conditions: If you have chronic conditions like diabetes or hypertension, regular RFTs are advisable to monitor kidney health.
Renal Profile/Renal Function Test Requirements
To undergo a kidney profile test in Gurgaon, 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.
