Kidney Function Tests

Overview

The kidneys play a vital role in filtering waste products, maintaining fluid balance, regulating electrolytes and supporting overall body health. Kidney Function Tests (KFT) are a group of blood and urine tests that help evaluate kidney performance and detect kidney diseases at an early stage.

At Apple Scans & Diagnostics, Ongole, we provide comprehensive kidney function testing using advanced laboratory equipment to support early diagnosis and effective medical treatment.
