Labwork? Yes: By kft and lft I am assuming you mean kidney function tests and liver function tests. Only kidney function tests need to be monitored as the contrast used for the angiogram can affect the kidneys. The doctor ordering the angiogram should have already checked the labwork prior to the study. I hope that helps.
