What is RENAL FUNCTION TEST (RFT)?

The Renal Function Test (RFT) is a blood test that measures various substances in your blood to assess how well your kidneys are working. It helps evaluate your kidney health and detect potential issues early.

Why is this test important?

RFT is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring kidney diseases, such as chronic kidney disease, acute kidney injury, and conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure that can affect kidney function. It helps guide treatment decisions and track disease progression.

How to Prepare

You may be asked to fast for 8-12 hours before the test, meaning no food or drink except water. Please confirm specific instructions with your healthcare provider.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on the test. Tests like lipid profile and fasting blood sugar require 10-12 hours of fasting. Tests like CBC, vitamin D, and thyroid do not require fasting. Each test page on our website clearly states the fasting requirements.
