Kidney Function
Also written as: Renal Function, KFT, RFT
Simple Meaning
How well your kidneys filter waste — summarized by creatinine, urea, and eGFR.
Where it appears in reports
On kidney function test (KFT/RFT) panels and eGFR calculations.
Why it matters
Kidneys lose function silently — there is no pain in early stages. Regular checks in diabetes and hypertension catch decline early, when protective treatment works best.
Doctor advice needed
Report words describe findings — they are not diagnoses. What "Kidney Function" means for you depends on your symptoms, history, and other results. Always review your report with your doctor.
