What is the kidney function test used for?

Kidney function tests are similar to any organ functionality tests that evaluate the functionality of your kidneys. A variety of clinical laboratory tests can be used to investigate and assess kidney function. Obtaining an estimate of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and checking for proteinuria/albuminuria are the most feasible techniques to assess renal function in the clinic.

These tests help identify the problems with the kidney and are advised for the following-;

For early detection of kidney-related disorders
To diagnose kidney problems
For monitoring the kidney function
Routinely done in patients who have long-term or uncontrolled diabetes, hypertension, or early detection of signs of kidney failure.
If urine routine shows significant proteinuria, or severe infection, etc.

What is included in the kidney function test?

Blood test	Urine analysis	Clearance Rate test
Creatinine level Nitrogen level in blood’s urea	Presence of albumin in urine Presence of protein in urine	Glomerular filtration rate test using insulin and finding the clearance rate through a blood test. Clearance test using serum creatinine by a urine test.

Procedure for kidney function test

Creatinine clearance test – A creatinine clearance test is performed on a 24-hour urine sample. It tells your doctor how much creatinine your body excretes in a single day.

Urinate into the toilet as you normally would when you wake up on the day you begin the test.
Urinate into a specific container provided by your doctor throughout the rest of the day and night.
During the collecting procedure, keep the container covered and refrigerated. Carefully and clearly label the container and take it to a doctor for your results.

Blood test– Blood samples are required for BUN (blood urea nitrogen) and serum creatinine testing, which must be taken in a lab or a doctor’s office. Blood samples can also be collected at home, for which you can book a test on the MFine app.

Before extracting blood, the technician puts an elastic band around your upper arm. This draws attention to the veins.
The technician then cleans the vein’s surrounding area.
They insert a hollow needle into your vein through your skin. The blood will be collected in a test tube and taken to the lab, where it will be analyzed.
After the test, the technician will cover the puncture site with gauze or a bandage.

Glomerular filtration rate test – It is the best test to determine the glomerular function (GFR). GFR is defined as the rate at which the substances in plasma are filtered through the glomerulus of the kidney. Glomeruli are filter-like networks of blood vessels and capillaries in the kidney that filter the blood. The GFR is measured in milliliters per minute, and it is done with the use of markers that can define the functionality.

Using Insulin-The measurement of GFR using inulin is considered one of the best methods for GFR estimation. The patient needs to be infused with inulin into the bloodstream, and then blood levels are measured after a set amount of time to determine the rate of inulin clearance.
Use of serum creatinine- Creatinine is the most often utilized endogenous marker for evaluating glomerular function. Urine must be collected during a 24-hour period, or preferably over a precisely scheduled period of 5 to 8 hours.

How to prepare for the kidney function test?

You do not need any special preparation for the test.

If you go for a serum creatinine test and a blood urea nitrogen test, you have to give your blood sample. Likewise, if you do Microalbuminuria or albumin-to-creatinine ratio tests, creatinine clearance tests, and urinalysis, you need to give your urine sample.

Before the test

8-12 hours of fasting is required before a blood test as it assures better clarity in your results
A creatinine blood test does not necessitate much planning. Fasting isn’t required. To achieve an accurate result, you can and should eat and drink as you normally do. However, any prescription or over-the-counter (OTC) medications should be disclosed to your doctor.
Do not take a protein-rich meal before going for a kidney function test, as recent high protein diets may cause large increases in blood creatinine and urea levels.
Drink an appropriate amount of water before going for the test, as hydration level has a significant impact on BUN measurement.
It is important to collect your urine accurately over the needed time frame for scheduled urine collections, such as the 24-hour urine creatinine clearance, as under or over collection will alter final results. As a result, a timed collection of 5 to 8 hours is preferable to a 24-hour collection.
It is advised to collect midstream urine for urine analysis because epithelial cells and bacteria are usually eliminated in the first few seconds of your urine. So, the sample will be less contaminated, and you can get precise results.

After the test

Hydrate yourself properly after the urine test, and make sure you eat immediately after a blood test.

Things to consider after the kidney function test is complete.

Remember that not only kidney diseases but some other disorders also have side effects that can affect your kidneys. When you get your test results, talk to your doctor about the disorders you face and let them know about your condition in detail. You should also let your doctor know about the medicines you take and other health issues you may have.

*What types of infection can kidney function tests detect?

A kidney function test can detect kidney infections caused by bacteria. Pyelonephritis (kidney infection) is a form of urinary tract infection (UTI) that starts in the urethra or bladder and spreads to one or both kidneys.

Bacteria can multiply and migrate to your kidneys if they enter your urinary tract through the tube that transports urine from your body (urethra). Kidney infections are most commonly caused by this.

You’ll probably be asked to produce a urine sample to test for bacteria, blood, or pus in your urine to confirm that you have a kidney infection. Your doctor may also take a blood sample for a culture, which is a lab test that examines your blood for bacteria or other organisms.

How much does the kidney function test cost?

The range of kidney function tests depends on the region and availability of pathology centers in your city. The cost does not vary much across different cities.

Cities for Kidney Function Test	Price Starting From
KFT Test Price in Delhi	₹350

Your report will be updated on the MFine app within 48 hours after sample collection. However, in some instances, depending on the location, medical advice, and preferred lab partner, it may take longer.

What do abnormal kidney function test results indicate?

Abnormal blood tests	Abnormal urine tests	Abnormal GFR
Abnormal blood test results can suggest diabetes, hypertension, cancer, kidney infection, and other conditions.	Taking a sample of your urine and analyzing it can reveal anomalies that indicate chronic kidney failure, stones, and infections.	Abnormal GFR results in kidney disease, causing damage to kidney functions and ultimately kidney failure.

Disclaimer: Please consult with your doctor for interpreting the test reports.

Is kidney function a definitive test?

What does a kidney function test measure?

The primary function of kidneys is to filter out the waste from our body in the form of urine. With the help of a blood test and/or urinalysis, a kidney function test aims to determine how well your kidneys are working. A kidney function test is used to measure the levels of urea, uric acid, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), urea, creatinine clearance rate, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). GFR indicates the speed at which the kidneys are performing filtration. A high level of BUN and creatinine in the blood means that the kidneys cannot filter out these wastes optimally from the body. A kidney function test determines nine renal functions. A kidney function test is also used to detect kidney infections such as pyelonephritis.

What Preparation is needed for a kidney function test?

You may be asked to keep 8-12 hours of fasting before undergoing a kidney function test.
You should drink water normally as hydration levels affect BUN measurement.
Avoid eating a protein-rich meal the night before a kidney function test, as it might erroneously increase the blood urea and creatinine levels.
Inform the physician about all the medications that you are on.
If you have been asked to collect a urine sample, it is recommended to collect midstream urine as the bacteria and toxins get flushed during the initial stream. There will be fewer chances of a false positive infection.

What happens to your test sample?

The kidney function test sample will be sent to your preferred lab in Pune that you chose while booking the test.

What do abnormal results indicate?

The abnormal kidney function test results may indicate the following:
Abnormal blood tests may indicate diabetes, hypertension, cancer, kidney infections, etc. Creatinine and urea are waste products that are filtered out by the kidneys. A high level of these in the blood indicates that the kidney cannot function properly.
Abnormal urinalysis may also suggest kidney stones, chronic kidney disease, or urinary system infections.
Abnormal GFR may indicate renal impairment and chances of kidney failure.
Once your physician identifies an issue with your kidneys, they may order further tests for a more thorough diagnosis, which will help them devise the best treatment plan for you.
