For example, patients with proteinuria should check 24-hour urinary protein quantitative, urinary microalbumin and urinary protein series. Patients with hematuria should be examined for the morphology and quantity of urine red blood cells (urine phase contrast microscopy) to determine the source of hematuria.

Second, renal function tests included serum creatinine (SCR), urea nitrogen, uric acid, endogenous creatinine clearance rate (CCR), and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was estimated by serum creatinine level. This is a blood test, which can reflect the health of the kidney from another angle, so it is necessary. However, in the actual medical practice, it is often missed by non nephrotic doctors, which delays the early diagnosis and treatment of nephropathy. Because the kidney has a strong compensatory function, those patients whose urine tests do not show abnormalities do not mean that the kidney has not been damaged, so in order to be responsible for your own health, you might as well add these tests as screening.
