How to check kidney function at home?

I get really anxious when I see slight swelling in my feet and worry if my kidneys are fine. Does anyone else get these anxious thoughts? I realized trying to check at home just makes me worry more, so I'm getting a lab test.

Yaar, you can't actually check kidney function by yourself at home. You can book a home sample collection through any medical app, which is super convenient, but the actual testing has to happen in a professional lab.

I know many people suggest drinking herbal teas to 'flush' kidneys, but you cannot measure how well your kidneys are functioning without medical help. Please book a home blood collection for a creatinine test to get accurate results.

Instead of worrying or buying unreliable test kits online, just book a routine Kidney Function Test (KFT). It costs around 300 to 500 rupees, and a lab guy will come to your home to take the sample. It's the most practical way.

You can't test it directly yourself, but you can use health apps to book a home sample collection for a Renal Function Test. The app will track your eGFR and creatinine levels, making it very easy to monitor over time.

Due to my chronic thyroid health issues, I learned that you cannot monitor organ function with home symptoms alone. Please get a proper laboratory KFT done by ordering a home collection service and consult a doctor.
