Kidney Function Panel
The kidney panel evaluates how your kidneys are working - creatinine, eGFR, BUN, uric acid and electrolytes. It helps flag reduced filtration and metabolic imbalance.
Also known as: Renal Panel · Renal Function Test · KFT
Preparation: No special preparation is usually needed.
Creatinine and the eGFR derived from it are the core measure of filtration; electrolytes and uric acid round out the picture. Values depend on hydration and muscle mass.

Frequently asked questions
What is eGFR?
The estimated glomerular filtration rate - a measure of how effectively your kidneys clean your blood. It's calculated from creatinine, age and sex.
Does food affect creatinine?
Yes - a meat-heavy meal and dehydration can temporarily raise creatinine. The trend matters more than a single value.
