Generally speaking, people are not aware of getting chronic kidney disease in
the early stage. The majority of patient have no idea about what kind of tests
they should have. A key point is that every person should have tests regularly
even there is no apparent symptoms. The tests are as follows.
First, the urine routine test, which is the most convenient one to test what
extent the urinary system has developed to. Usually, the respectively levels of
the urine protein, glucose, red blood cell and white blood cell are the major
indexes.
Second, the test for red blood cell in urine. If the percentage of red blood
cell is over 80%, then it is likely that the red blood cells are excreted from
the glomerulus.
Third, the test of 24-hour urinary protein quantity. If the amount of protein
in the urine increases, then there must be something wrong with the glomerulus.
This kind of test is more precise than the urine routine test. It can reflect
the patient’s condition at the greatest extent. However, the result of test can
be influenced by the foreign materials in the urine. What is more, if the
collected urine is within 24hours, or the patients intake a large amount of
protein, the result will also be influenced.
Forth, the test of urine osmotic pressure. Usually the normal range is
600~1400. If the result is below the normal range, then it reflects a decline of
renal function of concentration and dilution.
The tests mentioned above are the major ways to screen the chronic kidney
disease. Certainly ,there are also other tests. It is not important what sort of
tests the patients take, the matter is that the patients can realize the
importance of having tests regularly.
