Kidney Function Test (KFT) in Faridabad

At a Glance

Profile: Kidney Function Test (KFT). Tests: 12 parameters. Price: From 390. Fasting: Not required. Sample: Serum. Reports: 24 hours, digital. Home collection: Available across Faridabad. Lab: NABL-accredited. If you do physically demanding work, two of the twelve numbers on a Kidney Function Test (KFT) can mislead if they are read without context: creatinine and uric acid. Both rise transiently after hard physical effort. There is no fasting to plan, so the sample can be given before a shift, after it or on a rest day, and a few simple choices about timing make the result easier to interpret. ## Creatinine, Uric Acid and Hard Physical Work Creatinine is a by-product of muscle metabolism. After strenuous labour or heavy lifting it can be higher for a day or so, which may push a healthy person's reading above range. Uric Acid is a waste product of purine breakdown, and it also rises transiently with intense exertion, as well as with dehydration, alcohol and rich meals. A person who works on their feet through a long shift can therefore see both values lifted for reasons unrelated to the kidney. The practical answer is not to skip the test. It is to give the sample after a lighter day if you can, to drink water normally, and to tell your doctor what the day before involved. A doctor will usually repeat a borderline result under calmer conditions before drawing a conclusion. People searching for a uric acid test in Faridabad should know that it is part of this profile, not an extra. This is a point about interpretation and does not suggest any workplace exposure. ## The Rest of the Panel GFR by MDRD Formula estimates filtration from creatinine, age and sex. It inherits creatinine's limits and is less reliable in very muscular people. Urea, Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), BUN / Creatinine ratio and Urea / Creatinine Ratio read nitrogen waste in related ways; a raised ratio often points to dehydration, common after a hot shift. Sodium, Potassium and Chloride are the electrolytes, with potassium watched closely. Calcium and Phosphorus - Serum complete the set. ## Established Sectors and Annual Screening Many residents of the older NIT sectors and Old Faridabad are in their forties to sixties, the age at which kidney function is routinely reviewed, particularly with diabetes or high blood pressure. 101 million Indian adults have diabetes (Anjana RM, Mohan V, et al., ICMR-INDIAB, Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology, 2023;11(7):474–489), and the kidney is one organ it affects. ## Reading a Raised Result A creatinine or uric acid slightly above range after a physical working week is common and is often repeated before any conclusion. Persistently raised creatinine, a falling GFR, or a high potassium needs a doctor's attention sooner. A single high uric acid does not mean gout. The report flags every value outside the reference range, and your doctor reads the pattern alongside symptoms, medicines and history. ## Shifts, Collection and Medicines Home collection is available across NIT 1, NIT 2, NIT 5, Sector 15, Sector 21C, Sector 28, Ballabgarh, Neharpar and Greater Faridabad, so you do not need to fit a lab trip around an early start. Any charge is shown in the booking flow. Tell the phlebotomist about painkillers, water tablets and creatine or protein supplements, which can all change kidney values. ## Packages The Kidney Function Test (KFT) is included in every full body package, starting with the Basic Full Body Checkup (77 parameters), with the Liver Function Test (LFT), Lipid Profile and Complete Blood Count (CBC) + ESR. If you need several panels, a package costs less than separate bookings, but needs a 10-hour fast that this profile does not. ## What Is Not Included No urine tests. A routine urine dipstick finds overt protein but not microalbuminuria; early diabetic kidney damage needs a urine microalbumin / ACR test. No cystatin C, Magnesium, Bicarbonate, parathyroid hormone, Vitamin D, kidney ultrasound or stone workup. A normal KFT does not rule out early kidney damage. ## Sources Anjana RM, Mohan V, et al.

Fasting: Not required. There is no fasting window to plan around an early start or a rotating shift. Sample: One venous blood draw, processed as serum. All 12 parameters, including Creatinine and Uric Acid, run from it. Physical work: Strenuous effort or heavy lifting can raise creatinine and uric acid transiently. If you can, give the sample after a lighter day, and tell your doctor what the previous day involved. Do not skip the test because of this. Fluids: Drink water as usual. Dehydration after a hot shift raises urea, BUN and uric acid. Medicines: Continue prescribed medicines unless your doctor says otherwise. Tell the phlebotomist about painkillers, water tablets and creatine or protein supplements. Diet: Avoid a very large meat-heavy meal and heavy drinking the evening before. Home collection: Available across Faridabad, including NIT 1, NIT 2, NIT 3, NIT 5, Sector 15, 16, 21C, 28, 37, 46, Old Faridabad, Ballabgarh, Neharpar and Greater Faridabad. Any collection charge is shown in the booking flow before you confirm. Reports: Digital within 24 hours with reference ranges and flagged values.
