Why Test Kidney Function?
The kidneys filter waste products from the blood. Kidney disease often has no symptoms until advanced. At Dashvanth Healthcare Delhi, we provide comprehensive kidney function testing for early detection.
KFT Parameters
- Serum Creatinine: Normal Men 0.7–1.2 mg/dL, Women 0.5–1.0 mg/dL. Best indicator of kidney filtration function.
- Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN): Normal 7–20 mg/dL. Rises with kidney disease, high protein diet, dehydration.
- Uric Acid: Normal Men 3.5–7.2 mg/dL, Women 2.6–6.0 mg/dL. Elevated in gout and kidney disease.
- eGFR (estimated GFR): Calculated from creatinine. Normal >90 mL/min. Stages CKD 1–5.
- Electrolytes: Sodium, Potassium, Bicarbonate, Chloride.
CKD Stages
- Stage 1: eGFR >90 (kidney damage with normal function)
- Stage 2: eGFR 60–89 (mild reduction)
- Stage 3: eGFR 30–59 (moderate)
- Stage 4: eGFR 15–29 (severe)
- Stage 5: eGFR <15 (kidney failure – dialysis needed)
Who Should Get Tested?
- Diabetics and hypertensives (annually)
- Family history of kidney disease
- Recurrent kidney stones
- Swelling of legs or face
- Reduced urine output
- Foamy urine (protein leakage)
