Quick answer
The Kidney Function Test (KFT) Package costs ₹1,349 and covers 7 tests (27 parameters). A 7-test kidney panel with blood and urine markers: creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, uric acid, electrolytes, calcium, urine microalbumin and urine routine. None of the tests needs fasting. Reports are usually ready the same day. Book home sample collection or visit any of our 45 centres.
Kidneys can lose much of their function before you feel anything, and diabetes and high blood pressure are the usual reasons. This 7-test package is for people with those conditions, regular painkiller users, people with swelling or foamy urine, and anyone who has had kidney stones. It answers: are my kidneys filtering well, and is there any early sign of damage?
Blood and urine show different things. Creatinine and blood urea nitrogen rise when filtering slows, and doctors use creatinine with age and sex to estimate the filtration rate. Uric acid is linked with stones and gout. Sodium, potassium, chloride and calcium show whether the kidneys are keeping the body's salts in balance. Urine microalbumin can show small protein leaks before blood values move, and the urine routine looks for protein, blood, sugar and infection.
One raised creatinine can come from dehydration, a hard workout or a big meat meal, so your doctor may repeat the test before drawing any conclusion. If results stay abnormal, please see a doctor or nephrologist, and ask before taking any new painkiller.
Tests included (7 tests · 27 parameters)
Serum Creatinine Test1 parameter
The most widely used blood test to check how well your kidneys filter waste.
- Serum Creatinine
Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) Test1 parameter
Measures urea nitrogen in blood to assess kidney function and hydration.
- Blood Urea Nitrogen
Serum Uric Acid Test1 parameter
Detects high uric acid that can cause gout, joint pain and kidney stones.

Serum Electrolytes Test (Sodium, Potassium, Chloride)3 parameters
Measures sodium, potassium and chloride — vital for fluid balance, nerves, muscles and heart rhythm.
- Sodium (Na+)
- Potassium (K+)
- Chloride (Cl-)
Serum Calcium Test (Total Calcium)1 parameter
Measures total calcium in blood — important for bones, muscles, nerves and the parathyroid glands.
- Total Calcium
Urine Microalbumin Test1 parameter
Detects very small amounts of albumin in urine, an early sign of kidney damage in diabetes and high blood pressure, long before a routine urine test shows protein.
- Urine Microalbumin (mg/L)
Urine Routine Examination (Complete Urine Test)19 parameters
A 19-parameter physical, chemical and microscopic urine check for infection, kidney disease and diabetes.

Who should take it?

- People with swelling of the feet or face, or foamy urine
- Regular users of painkillers or herbal remedies
- People with kidney stones or a family history of kidney disease
How to prepare
- 1 No fasting is needed. Drink water as you normally do, since dehydration can raise creatinine and urea.
- 2 Avoid heavy exercise and large meat meals for 24 hours before the sample.
- 3 Collect a first-morning, mid-stream urine sample. If you have a urine infection or your period, move the test by a few days if you can.
- 4 Tell our staff about painkillers, BP tablets, water pills or herbal products. Do not stop any of them for this test.

KFT Package – FAQs
What is the price of the Kidney Function Test (KFT) Package?
₹1,349 at all 45 Live Line centres and for home sample collection.
Which tests are included in the KFT Package?
7 tests: Serum Creatinine Test, Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) Test, Serum Uric Acid Test, Serum Electrolytes Test (Sodium, Potassium, Chloride), Serum Calcium Test (Total Calcium), Urine Microalbumin Test, Urine Routine Examination (Complete Urine Test).
Is fasting required for the KFT Package?
No. None of the tests in this package needs fasting.
Is the Liver and Kidney Combo enough for my kidneys?
The Liver and Kidney Combo has three kidney markers and a liver function test, with no urine testing. This package stays on the kidneys and goes further, with electrolytes, calcium, urine microalbumin and urine routine. Choose it if kidney health is your main concern.
What is the difference between microalbumin and a urine routine?
A urine routine picks up protein once it reaches a visible level on a strip, along with sugar, blood and infection. Microalbumin is far more sensitive and catches very small leaks of albumin. That is why doctors use it to spot early kidney change in diabetes.
Does one high creatinine result mean kidney failure?
No. Creatinine can rise for a short time with dehydration, heavy exercise, some medicines or a high-protein meal. Doctors look at the trend over repeat tests along with urine findings. Please see a doctor about a high result, and do not stop any medicine on your own.
What is eGFR, and does this package tell me mine?
eGFR estimates how much blood your kidneys filter each minute. It is worked out from your creatinine, age and sex, and doctors use it to judge how well the kidneys are working. Your doctor can calculate it from the creatinine value in this report if it is not printed.
