How to check kidney?
My doctor told me my blood pressure is a bit high and suggested I keep an eye on my kidney health. What are the general ways to check the condition of my kidneys?

Please do not try to check your kidneys at home or ignore symptoms like swollen feet or lower back discomfort. I delayed my tests and faced severe complications. Go to a doctor and ask for a serum creatinine blood test and a urine routine checkup.

Don't guess or look for home symptoms. Just book a basic Kidney Function Test (KFT) online from any reliable lab like Tata 1mg or Apollo. It includes creatinine, urea, and uric acid, and you get the report on email the next day.

Aapko doctor ke paas jaakar ek baar peshab aur khoon ki jaanch karwani chahiye. Hamare yahan toh sab doctor se pooch kar hi KFT test karate hain, khud se kuch mat kariye. Apna khayal rakhiyega.

Keep your mind peaceful and take care of your body, as it is a temple. If you want to check your kidney health, the most reliable way is to visit a diagnostic center for a basic Kidney Function Test (KFT). God bless you with good health.

Unless you have X-ray vision, you can't check your kidneys yourself! You'll need to get a blood test called KFT or an ultrasound if your doctor recommends it. Go to a proper lab instead of overthinking it at night like me.

In my experience, as we grow older, keeping an eye on kidney health is very important, especially if you have high BP or diabetes. A simple annual urine and creatinine blood test with your physician's advice is more than enough to stay safe.
