Kidney Function Test (KFT) in Greater Noida

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 Greater Noida. Lab: NABL-accredited. Greater Noida is spread out, and a lab visit can use up half a day. The Kidney Function Test (KFT) is one of the easiest panels to have done at home: no fasting, one serum sample, no timing to plan. A phlebotomist visits your address, and the digital report follows within 24 hours. A doctor usually asks for it when creatinine or uric acid was raised before, when diabetes or blood pressure is being followed, or when swelling, foamy urine or recurring stones need explaining. ## What Is Measured Creatinine is a muscle by-product cleared by the kidneys. GFR by MDRD Formula converts it, with age and sex, into an estimated filtration rate. Creatinine rises late, only after considerable function has been lost, and the MDRD figure is an estimate rather than a measurement, so a normal result does not exclude early disease. Urea, Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), BUN / Creatinine ratio and Urea / Creatinine Ratio are four ways of reading nitrogen waste. Urea and BUN are the same compound written differently, and a raised ratio often points to dehydration. Uric Acid links to gout and some stones. Sodium, Potassium and Chloride are the electrolytes, with potassium the one that matters most for heart rhythm. Calcium and Phosphorus - Serum are minerals that shift in advanced kidney disease. ## When the Journey Is the Obstacle Parents in residential sectors, students in the Knowledge Park area without their own transport, and families in Greater Noida West or Gaur City who now live further from everything all face the same problem: getting to a collection centre. Kidney tests are often ordered for older people, and those are the people for whom travel is hardest. A home draw removes the trip, and the sample is processed at a NABL-accredited laboratory in our network. Any collection charge is shown in the booking flow before you confirm. ## Diabetes and the Kidney 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 of the organs it affects. If you have diabetes or a family history of it, a yearly KFT is a reasonable routine. It is not a test for early diabetic damage, though, as explained below. ## Reading a Raised Result A creatinine slightly above range is often repeated after a few days of normal fluids before any conclusion. A persistently raised creatinine, a falling GFR or a high potassium needs a doctor sooner. A single raised 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. ## Before the Draw Eat and drink normally, and drink water as usual. Dehydration lifts urea, BUN and uric acid, and a hard workout the day before can nudge creatinine. Tell the phlebotomist about painkillers, water tablets, blood pressure medicines and creatine or protein supplements, which can alter values. A creatinine slightly above range is often repeated after a few days of normal fluids. ## Packages and Companion Panels The Kidney Function Test (KFT) is included in every full body package, starting with the Basic Full Body Checkup (77 parameters), along with the Liver Function Test (LFT), Lipid Profile and Complete Blood Count (CBC) + ESR. If you need two or more panels, a package costs less than separate bookings, and one home visit covers all of them. Packages need a 10-hour fast; 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.
