A kidney function test (KFT), also known as the Renal function test (RFT), includes an evaluation of blood to determine the overall health of the kidney and its function. The KFT test measures the parameters like urea, creatinine, uric acid, protein, and electrolytes. Doctors may recommend a kidney test or RFT test in the presence of symptoms related to kidney problems such as an urge to urinate frequently, difficulty during urination, blood in urine, swelling in the feet, or urinating too much or too little. Impaired kidney functions may indicate the presence of conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure.

A kidney/renal function test (KFT/RFT)extended is a group of tests used to determine the condition and function of the kidneys. Kidneys help eliminate waste from our bodies. They also help regulate pH levels by regulating the levels of electrolytes in the body. If the kidneys are not functioning appropriately, the waste products will build up and harm the body. The group of tests include: Complete blood count (CBC) test is used to assess your general health and can help detect various diseases such as anemia and infections. A complete urine examination test is used to check urine components that can assist in identifying many health issues in the body. A full urine test is performed to check for residual blood cells, bilirubin, germs, and pus cells. Abnormalities in the presence of all these in the complete urine examination may indicate a kidney dysfunction or infection. KFT/RFT test includes an albumin/globulin (A/G) ratio test that measures the total amount of protein in your blood. There are two major types of protein in the blood: albumin and globulin, and their ratio will help to determine renal functioning. Blood urea nitrogen and creatinine, calcium, chloride, creatinine, potassium, sodium, urea, and uric Acid tests are conducted to examine how well the kidneys work. A KFT/RFT extended helps assess the kidneys' overall health and kidney function. People with diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and a family history of renal disease are recommended to undergo this test.

Kidney stone analysis by FTIR is a new technique for diagnoses of kidney stones using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Kidney stones are hard deposits made of minerals and salts that form inside the kidneys. FTIR technique determines the composition of a stone with respect to the nature and percentage of compounds present in the stone. This test has an advantage over other conventional analysis methods as the recognition of stone components is more precise and accurate. This test is prescribed to people who have severe, sharp pain in the side and back, below the ribs.

Complete urine examination or complete urine test includes a physical, chemical, and microscopic examination of urine. Urine color and transparency are assessed during a physical exam. A chemical examination checks blood, bilirubin, ketones, and urine glucose levels. While microscopic examination helps detect pus cells, RBCs, bacteria, and other cells. Urine complete analysis tests help diagnose conditions like kidney diseases, urinary tract infections, and other metabolic disorders.
