Understanding the Renal Function Test (RFT)
What It Is: The Renal Function Test (RFT) is a group of laboratory tests that assess the functioning of the kidneys. These tests provide valuable information about the overall health and efficiency of the kidneys and help in diagnosing and monitoring various kidney conditions.
Why It's Done:
Diagnosing Kidney Conditions:
The test helps identify abnormalities in kidney function, which can indicate conditions such as chronic kidney disease, acute kidney injury, and other renal disorders.
It assists in diagnosing conditions where the kidneys are not filtering waste products effectively.
Monitoring Health:
This test is useful for individuals with symptoms suggestive of kidney dysfunction, such as swelling, fatigue, changes in urine output, and high blood pressure.
It helps evaluate the effectiveness of treatments and monitor the progression of kidney conditions.
