The “KFT Urine Routine” package includes tests related to kidney function and a comprehensive analysis of urine. Here are the tests included in this package:
Kidney Function Test (KFT) (11):
- Blood Urea – Measures the level of urea nitrogen in the blood to assess kidney function and protein metabolism.
- BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen) – Similar to blood urea, it helps in evaluating kidney health and overall protein metabolism.
- BUN/Creatinine Ratio – Calculates the ratio of blood urea nitrogen to creatinine, providing additional information about kidney function.
- Calcium – Measures the level of calcium in the blood, which can be affected by kidney function.
- Chloride – Evaluates the electrolyte balance in the body and kidney function.
- Creatinine – Measures the level of creatinine in the blood, an important marker for kidney function.
- Phosphorus – Assesses the level of phosphorus in the blood, which can be affected by kidney function.
- Potassium – Evaluates the level of potassium in the blood, an essential electrolyte regulated by the kidneys.
- Sodium – Measures the level of sodium in the blood, another important electrolyte influenced by kidney function.
- Urea/Creatinine Ratio – Calculates the ratio of blood urea nitrogen to creatinine, providing additional information about kidney function.
- Uric Acid – Measures the level of uric acid in the blood, which can be influenced by kidney function.
Urine Routine & Microscopic Examination (23):
- Albumin – Checks for the presence of protein (albumin) in the urine, which may indicate kidney damage or disease.
- Amorphous Deposits – Identifies the presence of non-crystalline substances in the urine.
- Bacteria – Detects the presence of bacteria in the urine, indicating a possible urinary tract infection.
- Bilirubin – Checks for the presence of bilirubin in the urine, which may indicate liver or gallbladder issues.
- Blood – Detects the presence of blood in the urine, which can be a sign of kidney or urinary tract problems.
- Cast – Identifies the presence of casts in the urine, which can be indicative of kidney disease.
- Colour – Evaluates the color of urine, which can provide insights into hydration and possible health issues.
- Crystals – Identifies the presence of crystals in the urine, which can indicate various conditions.
- Deposit – Checks for any deposits or sediments in the urine, which may suggest kidney or urinary issues.
- Epithelial cells – Identifies the presence of epithelial cells in the urine, which may indicate inflammation or infection.
- Leucocyte Esterase – Detects the presence of white blood cells in the urine, suggesting possible infection or inflammation.
- Nitrate – Checks for the presence of nitrate in the urine, which can indicate a urinary tract infection.
- pH Urine – Measures the acidity or alkalinity of urine, which can provide information about kidney function and other health conditions.
- Protozoa – Detects the presence of protozoa in the urine, which may indicate infection.
- Pus cells (Leukocytes) – Checks for the presence of pus cells in the urine, indicating possible infection or inflammation.
- Red blood cells – Identifies the presence of red blood cells in the urine, which can indicate kidney or urinary tract issues.
- Specific gravity – Measures the concentration of urine, which can indicate hydration status and kidney function.
- Sugar – Checks for the presence of sugar in the urine, which can indicate diabetes or other health issues.
- Transparency – Evaluates the clarity or cloudiness of urine, which can provide insights into kidney health and other conditions.
- Urine ketones – Checks for the presence of ketones in the urine, which can be a sign of certain metabolic conditions.
- Urobilinogen – Measures the level of urobilinogen in the urine, which can provide information about liver health.
- Volume – Measures the total volume of urine produced in a given time, which is important for assessing hydration and kidney function.
- Yeast Cells – Identifies the presence of yeast cells in the urine, which may indicate infection.
This comprehensive package is designed to assess kidney function through various blood tests and evaluate urine for potential signs of kidney issues, infections, inflammation, or other health conditions.
