but they have a big job when it comes to your health. They filter extra water and waste from yourblood, make urine, and help control yourblood pressure. If they are damaged and stop working like they should, you have kidney disease. ...
Laboratory Testing for Chronic Kidney Disease Diagnosis and Management. In addition, the Kidney Failure Risk equation (KidneyFailureRisk.com) uses ACR and eGFR to estimate the risk of persons developing CKD and progressing to ESRD. How the laboratory can help Quest Diagnostics...
In the early stages of CKD, patients may not have many signs or symptoms, impacting the diagnosis and management of the disease. CKD may not become apparent until kidney function is significantly impaired. However, there are certain signs that people with diabetes may be developing CKD that can...
Then we must impart the information to the patient in an informative and appropriate way in order that we can then offer tailored strategies to prevent progression of the kidney disease and ameliorate the complications of CKD.Smith, James
All of these tests have limitations. They are often used together to develop a picture of the nature and extent of the kidney disease. In general, this testing can be performed on an outpatient basis. Urine tests Urinalysis:Analysis of the urine affords enormous insight into the function of ...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a serious health problem in children and adolescents, although its prevalence in the pediatric population is much lower than in adults. The initial diagnosis of CKD can be made using simple diagnostic test during the early stages of disease. Because of the absence...
Utilising patented Biochip Technology, the Randox Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) arrays could improve patient risk stratification whilst monitoring the effectiveness of treatment. Diagnosis of CKD at early stages will allow earlier intervention for the treatment of kidney disease, and the prevention of furt...

This stage is generally considered the threshold for a CKD diagnosis, and it falls into two subcategories: 3a and 3b. Mild-to-moderately compromised kidney function falls within the eGFR range of 45–59 and is referred to as stage 3a. An eGFR of 30–44 indicates the presence of moderate-...
