Kidney Function Test (KFT) Report Format — Sample & Free Download
A Kidney Function Test (KFT), also called a renal function test, checks how well the kidneys filter waste from the blood. It measures blood urea, serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), uric acid, and calcium to screen for reduced kidney function or electrolyte imbalance.
This is a real report generated by Dr.Lably LIS — not a mockup.
When is it ordered?
- Routine health screening, especially for diabetes or high blood pressure patients
- Investigating swelling, reduced urine output, or unexplained fatigue
- Monitoring kidney health before or during certain medications
- Follow-up for known kidney disease or after a kidney-related procedure
Test details
- Specimen type
- Serum
- Turnaround time
- Same day (3 hours)
Kidney Function Test report format breakdown
| Parameter | Unit | Normal range | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blood Urea | mg/dL | 10 - 50 | High levels can indicate reduced kidney function, dehydration, or a high-protein diet. |
| Serum Creatinine | mg/dL | 0.4 - 1.4 | The most direct marker of kidney filtering capacity — high levels usually indicate reduced kidney function. |
| Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) | mg/dL | 7 - 20 | Rises with reduced kidney function or dehydration; low levels can occur with liver disease or a low-protein diet. |
| Serum Uric Acid | mg/dL | 2.4 - 6 | High levels are linked to gout risk; this KFT-panel result is distinct from a standalone uric acid test. |
| Calcium (Ca++) | mg/dL | 8 - 11 | Reflects bone, parathyroid, and kidney health; both high and low levels need clinical correlation. |
Frequently asked questions
What parameters appear on a KFT report format?
A KFT report typically lists blood urea, serum creatinine, BUN, uric acid, and calcium, each shown with its result, unit, reference range, and status, as in the sample report above.
Do I need to fast for a KFT?
Usually no special preparation is required for a Kidney Function Test, but always confirm with your lab if it's combined with other fasting tests.
What does high creatinine mean?
Elevated serum creatinine generally suggests the kidneys are filtering less efficiently, but the cause requires clinical evaluation — it can range from temporary dehydration to chronic kidney disease.
How long does a KFT report take?
Dr.Lably-powered labs typically deliver KFT results the same day, often within about 3 hours of sample collection.
