As people’s standard of living improves and their awareness of health care increases, many of you will have an annual checkup, while others will go for a checkup only when they feel unwell. No matter which case you belong to, it is necessary to have a regular comprehensive health checkup. So what are the common items used for kidney disease examination? 1, one of the kidney disease examination items — regular urine test, this is the most basic examination, but also the doctor recommended must do the examination. 1) Routine urine examination mainly includes the determination of urine protein, urine sugar, urine occult blood, red blood cells and white blood cells and other items. Routine urine examination is convenient and quick. 2)Other urine tests If the doctor feels that routine urine tests are not enough to determine the condition, these urine tests can be done as follows. For example, patients with proteinuria should have their 24-hour urine protein quantification, urine microalbumin and urine protein series checked. Patients with hematuria should have urine red blood cell morphology and number examination (urine phase contrast microscopy) to determine the source of hematuria. 2, kidney disease examination item No. 2 — renal function tests include serum creatinine (sCr), urea nitrogen, uric acid, endogenous creatinine clearance (Ccr), and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is estimated by serum creatinine level. This is a blood-specific test that reflects the health status of the kidney from another perspective, so it is necessary. However, it is often missed by non-nephrologists in actual medical practice, which delays the early diagnosis and treatment of kidney disease. As the kidneys have a strong compensatory function, those patients whose urine tests do not show abnormalities do not mean that the kidneys are not damaged, so in order to be responsible for your own health, you may want to add these tests as screening.3. Kidney disease examination item No. 4 — Urological imaging includes renal nuclear scan intravenous pyelogram, ultrasound, CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination. These are some tests that are needed to understand the extent of kidney damage, to pinpoint kidney-related diseases, and to help doctors determine the nature of the disease. 4, kidney disease examination items of the fifth — kidney biopsy because the clinical manifestations of many kidney diseases and the histological changes of the kidney are not completely consistent. In order to further clarify the specific etiology and pathological type of the disease, renal puncture biopsy will be necessary. The quality of renal puncture biopsy for diagnostic purposes has also improved greatly due to improvements in puncture techniques, immunohistochemical techniques and electron microscopy. It has now become an important tool for diagnosing kidney disease, guiding treatment and determining prognosis.
