What is a KIDNEY PANEL KFT EXTENDED?

Kidney Panel KFT Extended is a comprehensive group of blood and urine tests used to assess kidney function, filtration, and electrolyte balance. It may include measurements such as serum creatinine, urea, estimated GFR, electrolytes, uric acid, and urine parameters, depending on the laboratory. The panel is needed to detect or monitor kidney disease, evaluate abnormal kidney function, assess treatment, and identify potential complications affecting renal health.

FAQs

What is serum creatinine?

Creatinine is a waste product produced by normal muscle metabolism and removed primarily by the kidneys. Blood creatinine is commonly used to assess kidney filtration.

What is eGFR?

Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is a calculated estimate of how efficiently the kidneys filter blood. It is generally derived from creatinine along with factors such as age and gender.

What can cause high creatinine levels?

Increased creatinine can occur with reduced kidney filtration, dehydration, certain medications, high muscle mass, intense exercise, or other conditions. It should be interpreted with eGFR and clinical findings.

Can dehydration affect kidney function test results?

Yes. Dehydration can temporarily increase blood urea and creatinine levels and may affect other laboratory measurements. Adequate hydration according to medical advice is important before testing.

What is blood urea?

Urea is a waste product formed when the body breaks down proteins. The kidneys normally remove urea from the blood through urine.
