Your Kidneys Warn You Late: KFT Signs Gurugram Adults Shouldn't Ignore

Kidneys rarely complain early. By the time swelling or reduced urine appears, a large share of function may already be lost. A simple Kidney Function Test catches problems years earlier.

What a KFT Includes

• Serum creatinine — the core filtration marker
• Blood urea / BUN — protein waste clearance
• eGFR — estimated filtration rate, calculated from creatinine, age and sex
• Uric acid — high levels stress the kidneys
• Sodium, potassium, chloride — electrolyte balance
• Urine routine and microalbumin — earliest sign of kidney damage in diabetics

Early Signs Worth Testing For

• Swelling around the eyes in the morning or in the ankles
• Frothy or foamy urine
• Urinating more often at night
• Unexplained fatigue, nausea or itching
• Blood pressure that keeps creeping up

Who Should Test Annually

• Anyone with diabetes or hypertension — the two biggest causes of kidney disease in India
• Regular users of painkillers (NSAIDs)
• Family history of kidney disease or stones
• Adults above 45, as part of a full body checkup

Preparation

Fasting is usually not required unless combined with sugar or lipid tests. Avoid heavy protein meals and strenuous gym sessions 24 hours before — both can raise creatinine temporarily. Stay normally hydrated.
