KFT assesses kidney health by measuring blood levels of substances filtered by the kidneys, including urea, creatinine, and electrolytes like sodium and potassium. This test detects kidney damage or disease, evaluates filtration efficiency, and monitors chronic kidney conditions. Abnormal creatinine and urea levels may indicate impaired kidney function. Electrolyte imbalances can signal kidney dysfunction or dehydration. KFT assists in diagnosing conditions causing kidney stress, such as diabetes and hypertension, and helps monitor medication effects. It requires a blood sample and sometimes a urine analysis. No special preparation is usually needed. Redcliffe Labs ensures convenient home sample collection with timely, accurate results to support kidney health management. Read less
