Kidney Function Test (KFT)

Kidney function tests determine how well the kidneys are functioning. The majority of these tests examine how successfully the kidneys remove waste from the body. A kidney test might include a blood test, a 24-hour urine sample, or a combination of the two. The test results are generally available on the same day. The glomerular filtration rate is measured in the majority of these assays (GFR). GFR measures how well your kidneys remove waste from the body
