Kfts

KFTs is an acronym that can refer to several terms across different fields. The most widely used meaning in healthcare is kidney function tests, a panel of measurements used to evaluate kidney health.

Kidney function tests typically include serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, electrolytes, and calculations such as estimated glomerular filtration rate, along with urine tests for protein or albumin-to-creatinine ratio. They help diagnose kidney disease, monitor progression, assess the impact of medications, and guide treatment decisions. Results are interpreted relative to reference ranges and patient factors like age and muscle mass.

In other contexts, KFTs may stand for organization names, project titles, or technical terms that are not standardized. Because there is no single, universally recognized meaning, the exact interpretation depends on the surrounding text. When encountering the acronym, it is best to rely on contextual clues or seek explicit definition from the source.
