For the examination of kidney disease, it is generally necessary to check the urine routine and urine red blood cells. In addition, there are other items. Next, I will tell you what the examination of kidney disease needs to be done.

What examination does kidney disease need to do

First, the urine routine is the most simple examination for whether there are lesions in the urinary system, the nature and degree of the lesions. Renal function test: urea nitrogen and serum creatinine can be measured, from which endogenous creatinine clearance rate can be calculated. CCR can reflect the damage degree of glomerular filtration function earlier. In most adults, when CCR decreases by about 50%, serum creatinine begins to rise.

Second: urine red blood cell morphology examination, if the abnormal red blood cell is more than 80%, hematuria should be considered from the glomerulus. 15 g / 24 h. If 24 hours urine protein quantity increases, may reflect the glomerulus or the renal tubular pathological change degree. The size, shape, stone, tumor, cyst, hydronephrosis, urinary tract obstruction and congenital malformation of kidney can be detected by B-ultrasound.

Third: urine radioimmunoassay is to check the urine micro protein, including β 2 microglobulin, α 2 microglobulin, urinary albumin, is one of the sensitive indicators to judge early renal damage. Especially for patients with hypertension and diabetes, renal damage can be found as soon as possible. Renal CT and MRI: CT and MRI can detect small calcifications and stones that cannot be detected by ordinary X-ray, and can also assist in the diagnosis of renal tumors, renal tuberculosis, renal cysts, etc.
