What is a Renal Function Test?
A Renal Function Test (RFT), also known as a Kidney Function Test (KFT), is a group of blood tests that measure how well your kidneys are working. These tests check levels of various substances, including electrolytes, minerals, proteins, and waste products in your blood. Monitoring these values is crucial for assessing kidney health and detecting potential issues early. This dashboard allows you to explore the typical normal ranges for each component of an RFT.

Important Health Indicator
A low eGFR (estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate) or a high Creatinine level can be an early sign of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). It is essential to monitor these values.
