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  Hyderabad:

  • 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.

What Medical Treatments/Procedures can Require the Renal Profile/Renal Function Test?

Certain medical treatments and procedures can impact kidney function, making a Renal Profile or Renal Function Test (RFT) essential before or during these interventions. Here are the primary cases where an RFT may be required:

  • Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy: Treatments for cancer, such as chemotherapy and radiation, can be toxic to the kidneys. Some chemotherapeutic agents are nephrotoxic (harmful to kidney tissue), so kidney function needs to be monitored before, during, and after treatment.
  • Use of Nephrotoxic Medications: Other medications, such as NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), certain antibiotics (e.g., aminoglycosides), and some antiviral medications, are known to affect kidney function.
  • Dialysis: For individuals with chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease (ESRD), regular RFTs are necessary to evaluate kidney function. 
  • Kidney Transplantation: Both the recipient and the donor in a kidney transplant procedure require thorough kidney function testing. For recipients, RFTs are used to evaluate the severity of kidney disease and ensure they are suitable candidates for transplantation. For potential donors, RFTs confirm that their kidney function is adequate and that donating one kidney will not compromise their health.
  • Surgery: Major surgeries, particularly those involving the heart, liver, or abdominal organs, can stress the kidneys. An RFT is often conducted before surgery to ensure the kidneys are healthy enough to handle anaesthesia and the surgical procedure itself. Postoperative kidney function is also monitored, especially if complications like blood loss, low blood pressure, or infections occur, which can reduce kidney perfusion and impair function.
  • Cardiovascular Procedures: Procedures like angiography, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), and angioplasty may require the use of contrast dyes or other agents that could affect kidney function. Patients undergoing these procedures are often tested with an RFT beforehand to ensure their kidneys can process the dye and handle the physiological stress of the procedure.
  • Treatment for Acute Kidney Injury (AKI): Patients suffering from acute kidney injury, which can result from severe infections, dehydration, or medications, need an RFT to determine the extent of kidney damage. This test helps monitor recovery and guide treatment, which may include interventions like fluid management or dialysis.
  • Management of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): Individuals with chronic kidney disease are regularly tested with RFTs to monitor the progression of the disease. RFT results help doctors tailor treatments, including diet changes, medications, and decisions on the timing of dialysis initiation.
  • Management of Electrolyte Imbalances: Treatments aimed at correcting electrolyte imbalances, such as low potassium or sodium levels, often require monitoring kidney function because the kidneys regulate the body's electrolyte balance. RFTs are used to ensure the kidneys are functioning properly and that the treatment for electrolyte disturbances is safe.

Renal Profile/Renal Function Test Requirements

To undergo a kidney profile test in  Hyderabad, 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.

Price of the Renal Profile/Renal Function Test

The kidney function test price in  Hyderabad 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  Hyderabad 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.

How Often Should you be Recommended Renal Profile/Renal Function Test?

The frequency of getting a renal profile or renal function test (RFT) depends on an individual’s health condition, risk factors, and ongoing medical treatments. Here’s a general guideline on how often RFTs are recommended:

  • For people with chronic kidney disease (CKD): Testing every 3 to 6 months is recommended to monitor disease progression, with more frequent tests for advanced stages.
  • Diabetics and people with hypertension: Annual RFTs are advised, or every 6 months if there’s a higher risk or signs of kidney damage.
  • Patients on nephrotoxic medications: Individuals taking medications that could affect the kidneys, such as certain antibiotics, NSAIDs, or chemotherapy, may need to undergo RFTs frequently, sometimes every 3 to 6 months.
  • Older adults: For older adults, especially those over the age of 60, it is recommended to have an RFT annually as part of routine health check-ups, even if there are no symptoms of kidney disease.
  • People with a family history of kidney disease: Those with a family history of conditions such as polycystic kidney disease or other hereditary kidney disorders should get an RFT once a year, even if they don’t show symptoms of kidney problems.
  • Post-surgery or during certain treatments: After major surgeries and during treatments that involve high doses of medications or radiologic contrast agents, an RFT may be recommended shortly after the procedure or treatment to monitor kidney function. In such cases, testing may be done every few weeks or months, depending on the recovery process.
  • Individuals with symptoms of kidney disease: If someone is experiencing symptoms like swelling, reduced urination, blood in the urine, or elevated blood pressure, an RFT is usually recommended immediately. Depending on the test results, follow-up testing may occur every 3 to 6 months to monitor the situation.
