Kidney Function Tests (KFT) – Types, Who Should Get it

What is the normal function of kidneys?

Kidneys are bean-shaped organs and are the size of a fist. Two kidneys lie on either side of the spine, posterior to the abdomen and below the rib cage.

Kidneys maintain the body’s level of water and various essential minerals. They filter waste materials and excess fluid from the blood and expel them from the body as urine.
