    What is a Kidney Function Test with Electrolytes?

    A Kidney Function test (KFT) checks your kidney health by assessing how well it removes waste from your body. This test measures several blood indicators, aiding in the detection of kidney diseases, monitoring the advancement of these conditions, and evaluating the response to medications.

    Kidneys are crucial for removing toxins and waste from the body, synthesising vitamin D, maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance, and producing important hormones such as erythropoietin for red blood cell creation and renin for blood pressure regulation. These essential roles underscore the importance of healthy kidneys for overall health.

    Kidney disease can be asymptomatic in its initial stages, which is why KFTs are important for everyone. These tests aid in the early identification and management of potential kidney problems. Regular KFTs are especially crucial for Hyderabad residents who have a familial predisposition to renal disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, or heart illness. Thus, by scheduling a KFT in Hyderabad, individuals may assess their kidney function, which is essential for overall health.

    KFT Test Parameters

    A KFT offers a detailed analysis of kidney function and electrolyte levels. The test parameters are:

    Urea

    Generated from protein metabolism in the liver, urea is eliminated by the kidneys. High urea levels in the blood suggest impaired kidney function, which may result from a high protein diet, kidney damage, or failure.

    Uric Acid

    Formed from the breakdown of purines, uric acid is eliminated through the kidneys. Elevated uric acid levels can indicate gout, a diet rich in animal products or alcohol, kidney tubule damage, or certain cancers. Chronic kidney disease typically leads to lower uric acid levels.

    Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)

    Derived from creatinine levels, eGFR measures kidney filtration efficiency, making it the most reliable kidney function indicator and essential for diagnosing kidney diseases.

    Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN)

    This nitrogenous waste from protein breakdown is filtered by the kidneys. Elevated BUN levels can be a sign of kidney disease.

    Creatinine

    This substance results from muscle metabolism and is filtered out by the kidneys. Increased blood creatinine levels may suggest impaired kidney function, a high protein diet, or high muscle bulk.

    BUN/Creatinine Ratio

    This ratio is significant for identifying kidney disorders and metabolic breakdown, often elevated in kidney diseases and conditions like critical illness or upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

    Electrolytes

    The KFT includes tests for various electrolytes, essential for monitoring the kidney’s role in regulating blood minerals like Calcium, Potassium, Sodium, Chloride, and Phosphorus, indicating potential kidney, lung, or heart problems.

    Kidney Function Test Preparation

    Proper preparation is essential for accurate results when taking a Kidney test at home. Consider the following:

    Prerequisites

    No special preparation is needed but adhere to any specific guidelines from your doctor. You may be recommended to avoid nicotine and to remain hydrated if you have KFT with electrolytes.

    Best Time to Get Tested

    Since fasting is not required, the test can be taken at any convenient time.

    Who Should Get a Kidney Function Test

    It is advisable for those with kidney disease symptoms, chronic conditions such as hypertension or diabetes, or a family history of kidney problems.

    Cautions Before Taking Kidney Function Test

    Inform your doctor about all the medications you take, including antibiotics, since some may need to be stopped in order to guarantee reliable test results.

    Why Take a KFT Test ?

    Your doctor can request a KFT for a variety of reasons, including:

    Symptoms of Kidney Diseases

    If you experience symptoms that may indicate a kidney disease such as:

    • Painful urination

    • Difficulty urinating

    • Frequent urination

    • Blood in your urine

    A KFT can help detect kidney disease early, enabling prompt treatment.

    Health Conditions

    Kidney function can be affected by certain medical disorders including diabetes or hypertension. In such cases, KFT tests become especially crucial for routine monitoring. The tests make it possible to monitor how these illnesses affect the kidneys and to control the course of treatment.

    Electrolyte Balance

    KFTs, along with electrolyte panels, play a key role in evaluating kidney health and maintaining the balance of essential minerals (such as calcium, sodium, potassium etc.) in the body.

    Assessment of Disease Progression

    Kidney disease progression may be monitored by KFTs, which can offer important information for medication modifications.

    Monitoring Treatment

    KFTs are valuable for assessing how effectively the kidneys are responding to treatment plans for various health issues.

    Kidney Function Test Results & Interpretation

    The following are the standard ranges for different test parameters and the conditions that might lead to abnormalities:

    Test ParametersNormal RangeConditions associated with abnormal levels
    Urea19-43 mg/dL (Newborn: 6.5-25.5)High urea and BUN levels are suggestive of poor kidney function due to acute or chronic kidney diseases, decreased blood flow to the kidneys as in congestive heart failure, shock, stress, recent heart attack or severe burns, bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract, conditions that obstruct urine flow or dehydration. Low urea and BUN levels are uncommon and are not usually a cause for concern. Although they are not used to detect or track severe liver disease or malnutrition, they can be observed in these circumstances. Normal pregnancy also exhibits low urea levels.
    Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN)6-20mg/dL
    Creatinine0.66-1.25mg/dLCreatinine is elevated in kidney damage, infection, urinary tract obstruction, diabetic complications, congestive heart failure, and reduced blood flow to kidneys due to shock.
    Uric Acid3.5-8.5mg/dLHigh levels of uric acid are seen in kidney disease, pre-eclampsia, purine-rich food, alcoholism, and side effects of cancer treatment.
    eGFRNormal >= 90 Mild decrease 60-89 Mild-moderate decrease 45-59 Severe decrease 15-29 End-stage kidney disease < 15 All values in ml/min/1.73m²GFR is an important parameter for detecting chronic kidney disease.
    BUN/creatinine ratio10-20High BUN/creatinine ratio suggests kidney injury or loss of muscle mass in a critical illness.
    Sodium137 to 145 mmol/LSodium levels can increase during dehydration, a disorder of the adrenal glands, kidney disease, and diabetes insipidus. Low sodium levels are caused by diarrhoea, vomiting, kidney disease, liver failure, Addison’s disease, and malnutrition.
    Potassium3.5 to 5.5 mmol/LHigh levels may be due to kidney failure, hypoaldosteronism, metabolic or respiratory acidosis. Low levels may be due to diarrhoea, vomiting, hyperaldosteronism, and the use of diuretics.
    Calcium8.4 to 10.2 mg/dLLow calcium levels may be due to hypoparathyroidism, kidney failure, pancreatitis, malnutrition, or a disorder in calcium absorption. High calcium levels may be due to hyperparathyroidism, hyperthyroidism, sarcoidosis, drugs like diuretics, and excessive calcium supplementation.
    Phosphorus2.5 to 4.5 mg/dLLow phosphorus levels may be used for malnutrition, vitamin D deficiency, overactive parathyroid glands, and severe burns. High phosphorus levels may be seen during impaired kidney function, hypothyroidism, liver disease, and diabetic ketoacidosis (a complication of diabetes)
    Chloride98 to 107 mmol/LHigh levels may be due to diarrhoea, Addison's disease, metabolic acidosis, respiratory alkalosis, and renal tubular acidosis. Low levels may be due to burns, CHF, metabolic alkalosis, vomiting, dehydration, respiratory acidosis (compensated)
