What is the RFTs (Renal Function Test with eGFR) test?
RFT stands for renal function test. It is a blood test that shows how well your kidneys are clearing waste from your blood. One sample measures urea, creatinine, uric acid and electrolytes, and it calculates your eGFR, the single number that says how well your kidneys are filtering.
Kidneys fail quietly. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases puts it plainly: early kidney disease usually has no symptoms, and testing is the only way to know how well your kidneys are working.
KFT, Kidney Function Test and RFT: The Same Test
What the Test Measures
Each marker looks at a different part of kidney function.
| Marker | What it is | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| eGFR | Estimated glomerular filtration rate | The headline number, showing how fast your kidneys filter blood |
| Creatinine | Waste from normal muscle breakdown | Your kidneys clear it, so it rises as kidney function falls, and it is what eGFR is calculated from |
| Urea | Waste from protein breakdown | Rises when the kidneys are not clearing well, but diet and dehydration move it too |
| Uric acid | Waste from the breakdown of purines | Links to gout and kidney stones as well as kidney function |
| Sodium and potassium | Electrolytes the kidneys balance | Go out of range when the kidneys cannot regulate fluid and salts |
| Chloride and bicarbonate | The rest of the electrolyte picture | Help show acid and base balance |
What Your eGFR Number Means
eGFR is the number your doctor looks at first. NIDDK sets out the bands as follows.
| eGFR | What it means |
|---|---|
| 60 or above | Within the normal range |
| Below 60 | May mean kidney disease, and needs a conversation with your doctor |
| 15 or below | Kidney failure, where most people need dialysis or a transplant |
You cannot raise your eGFR, but you can work to stop it falling further. That is why finding it early matters so much.
What High and Low Values Mean
Reference ranges for urea, creatinine and uric acid differ between laboratories and between testing methods, and they shift with age, sex and muscle mass. Read the range printed on your own report rather than comparing against a number you found online.
| Finding | What it may suggest |
|---|---|
| High creatinine with low eGFR | The kidneys are filtering less well than they should |
| High urea with normal creatinine | Often dehydration, a high protein diet or bleeding in the gut rather than kidney damage |
| High uric acid | Linked to gout and kidney stones, and common alongside diabetes and obesity |
| Potassium out of range | Needs prompt medical attention, because it affects the heart |
| Low creatinine | Usually harmless and often just low muscle mass |
One value outside the range confirms nothing. Your doctor reads the whole panel together with your blood pressure, sugar and history.
Who Should Get Tested and When
Because early kidney disease is silent, testing is based on risk rather than symptoms. NIDDK advises getting checked if you have any of the following.
- Diabetes, and in that case every year
- High blood pressure
- Heart disease
- A family history of kidney failure
Test sooner if you have swelling in the feet or ankles, pass much more or much less urine than usual, have foamy urine, feel persistently tired, or take medicines that put a load on the kidneys.
How to Prepare
- No fasting is needed for the RFT on its own
- Drink water normally, since being dehydrated can lift your urea reading
- Tell your doctor about every medicine and supplement you take
- If your doctor has bundled the RFT with a lipid profile or a fasting sugar, fast for those instead
- Avoid heavy exercise the day before, because it can raise creatinine briefly
What Happens During the Test
- A trained phlebotomist draws a small blood sample from a vein in your arm
- The draw takes under a minute
- You may feel a brief sting and see a small bruise afterwards
- You can eat and drink normally straight away
- Your Marham Lab report is ready the same day and reaches you online
