Kidney / Liver Function Tests, ESR & CRP
Tests that check your kidneys, liver and inflammation to guide safe, effective foot treatment, in India.
Kidney function tests (KFT), liver function tests (LFT), ESR and CRP are supporting blood tests in diabetic foot care in India: they check that your organs can safely handle antibiotics and contrast dyes, and they measure inflammation so the severity of a foot infection can be tracked over time. At Elegance Diabetic Foot & Ulcer Clinic (EDFC) they are ordered and read by Dr. Ashutosh Shah at our clinics in Surat, Gujarat and Vizianagaram, Andhra Pradesh.
Why These Tests Matter
Diabetes often affects the kidneys, which changes how drugs are dosed and whether contrast scans are safe. Inflammatory markers, meanwhile, help judge how serious an infection is and whether it is settling. The IWGDF 2023 guidelines support using such markers alongside clinical findings in diabetic foot infection.
What Each Test Shows
- KFT: kidney health, which guides safe antibiotic dosing and use of contrast dye for vascular imaging.
- LFT: liver health, important for the safe use of some medicines.
- ESR and CRP: markers of inflammation that rise with infection.
- Falling ESR and CRP suggest an infection is responding to treatment.
- They complement your HbA1c, blood sugar and CBC tests.
Who Should Get These Tests
- Anyone with a moderate to severe diabetic foot ulcer or infection.
- Patients being started on antibiotics or planned for surgery.
- People needing a contrast scan to check circulation.
- Those whose infection is being monitored over time.
Why Choose EDFC and Dr. Ashutosh Shah
EDFC is India’s first chain of clinics dedicated to diabetic foot care, and these results are read specifically for foot treatment, ensuring medicines are safe and that infection is genuinely improving, alongside targeted wound management.
What Happens After the Tests
Results shape safe drug choices and confirm whether an infection is under control. Rising markers prompt a change in treatment; falling markers reassure that the current plan is working.
