    What Is the Significance of Potassium Levels in a KFT Test?

    Potassium levels in a KFT are vital for assessing kidney function, as kidneys regulate potassium balance. High potassium (hyperkalemia) may indicate impaired kidney filtration, often seen in chronic kidney disease (CKD) or acute kidney injury (AKI). Low potassium (hypokalemia) may result from overuse of diuretics or certain endocrine disorders. Abnormal potassium levels can affect heart function, requiring prompt medical attention.
