What Do Kidney Function Test Results Mean?
A KFT test or renal function test is conducted to check the health and filtration levels of your kidneys. Hence the testing markers for the results are expressed in terms of GFR and BUN, Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR), and Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) levels, respectively. While GFR indicates your Kidney Functioning, the BUN levels measure the presence of urea nitrogen in your blood.
