Understanding Kidney Function Tests

Kidneys play an essential role in filtering wastes and toxins from the blood, balancing electrolytes, and regulating blood pressure. Hence, keeping a tab on their functionality is crucial. Kidney function tests primarily measure levels of urea, creatinine, and other key indicators in the blood and urine that help ascertain kidney health. Two of the most informative tests available at Livasa Hoshiarpur include the Renal Function Test (RFT) and the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) test.

• RFT (Renal Function Test): This blood test measures electrolytes and waste products to evaluate how well the kidneys are working.
• GFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate): It assesses how well the kidneys filter blood and determine the presence of kidney disease.

Causes and Risk Factors for Kidney Problems

Understanding the causes and risk factors is pivotal for early diagnosis and management. Common causes include chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension, infections, autoimmune diseases, and prolonged use of certain medications. Globally, kidney disease affects approximately 10% of the population, making early detection crucial. In Punjab and specifically Hoshiarpur, lifestyle changes, and dietary patterns have contributed significantly to the increase in kidney diseases.

Key risk factors include:

• Diabetes and hypertension
• Family history of kidney disease
• Obesity and smoking
• Age over 60
• Uncontrolled use of pain medications

Symptoms of Impaired Kidney Function

Symptoms of kidney dysfunction can vary depending on the disease's stage. Early stages may be asymptomatic but can quickly progress to severe symptoms if ignored. Recognizing symptoms early and undergoing regular testing, especially for high-risk individuals in Hoshiarpur, can save lives.

Common symptoms include:

• Fatigue and weakness
• Swelling in legs, ankles, or feet
• Difficulty concentrating
• Changes in urination (frequency, appearance, and volume)
• Persistent itching and dry skin
• Nausea and vomiting
