How to test kidney function at home?
My brother's friend was talking about some ways to check kidney function at home. Is there any simple test or observation we can do to get an idea of our kidney health without going to a clinic?

You cannot test kidney function properly at home. You should book a home sample collection for a blood Kidney Function Test (KFT) through a certified lab.

At-home testing is not accurate for kidneys, yaar. The best practical way is to just call a lab guy home for blood collection. It costs around 400-500 rupees for a Kidney Function Test (KFT), which is much better than buying any expensive home kit.

As a diabetic, I have to check my kidney function regularly because high sugar can affect them. There is no reliable home test, so I always get a professional blood creatinine and microalbuminuria test done through a lab. Please do the same for accurate results.

I kept looking for home testing kits online, but honestly, it made me more anxious because they are not very reliable. It is much better and safer to have a professional lab technician come to your house and take a blood sample for a KFT. It will save you a lot of worry!
