Expert in Nephrology: Committed to Kidney Health and Care | |
Kidney disease is a broad term that covers numerous ailments that impact the structure and function of kidneys. They play a vital role in removing waste products and excessive fluids from the blood, ensuring the balance of electrolytes, and producing hormones that regulate blood pressure and the production of red blood cells. The severity of these diseases can vary from mild to severe and may be chronic or acute. The most common causes are blood pressure and diabetes. Diagnosing kidney-related issues usually requires a combination of medical history analysis, physical examinations, and a range of kidney function tests. Here are a few standard procedures and tests that could be required in kidney diagnosis: 1. Health History: The physician will ask the patient about the symptoms, such as medical history, family history, and any medication they're taking. 2. Physical Examination: A kidney specialist might conduct physical examination to look for indications of kidney issues that include swelling, high blood pressure, or changes in the pattern of urination. 3. Blood Tests: Blood Urea Nitrogen and Serum Creatinine: These tests include measuring the levels of waste products in the blood. Elevated levels can indicate impaired kidney function. Glomerular Filtration Rate: GFR is an estimate of measuring the better functioning of kidney. A lower GFR may suggest decreased kidney function. 4. Urine Tests: Urinalysis: This test examines a sample of urine for abnormalities, such as protein, blood, or other substances that might indicate kidney problems. Urine Protein-to-Creatinine Ratio: This test measures the amount of protein in relevance to amount of creatinine in urine. Elevated levels may indicate kidney damage. 5. Imaging Tests: Ultrasound: The ultrasound may show kidney images and help identify structural issues like cysts or kidney stones. CT Scan or MRI: These imaging techniques provide more detailed images and can help diagnose conditions like kidney tumors or structural issues. Kidney Biopsy: In some cases, a small sample of kidney tissue may be taken for analysis to diagnose certain kidney diseases. 6. Specialized Tests: Depending on the suspected diagnosis, doctor may recommend additional tests, such as autoimmune tests, electrolyte levels, or imaging with contrast dye.  | |
