Kidney function tests (KFT) measure how efficiently your kidneys are working. Most of these tests check how well your kidneys clear waste from your system. A kidney test may involve a blood test, a 24-hour urine sample, or both. You usually have your test results on the same day or within a few days.

Kidney function tests are urine or blood tests that evaluate how well your kidneys are working. Most of these tests measure glomerular filtration rate (GFR). GFR assesses how efficiently your kidneys clear waste from your system.

 Why might I need a kidney function test?

Some conditions, such as diabetes or high blood pressure (hypertension), affect how well the kidneys work. If you have one of these conditions, your healthcare provider may use kidney function tests to help monitor these conditions.

You may also need a kidney function test if you have symptoms that indicate possible kidney problems. These symptoms might include:

·         Blood in your urine (hematuria).

·         Painful urination (dysuria).

·         Frequent urge to urinate.

·         Problems with starting to pee.

What are the types of kidney function tests?

Your healthcare provider may order one or a few different types of kidney function tests. You may have blood tests for kidney function, such as:

·         Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) measures nitrogen (made from protein breakdown) in your blood.

·         Estimated GFR (eGFR) calculates filtration rates based on your protein levels, age, gender, size, and race.

·         Serum creatinine looks for the build-up of creatinine, a waste product from muscle tissue breakdown.

Your healthcare provider may also use 24-hour urine tests, including:

·         Micro albuminuria looks for a specific protein called albumin.

·         Urinalysis evaluates your urine for blood, proteins, and function.
