Blood tests Serum creatinine Glomerular Filteration Rate (GFR) Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN)

Page 5: Kidney disease diagnosis

Serum Creatinine test Creatinine-waste product that comes from

normal wear and tear on muscles of bodyLevel can depends on age , race, & body sizeNormal range is 1.5If >1.5 then it is an early size that the kidneys

are not working properly if its level rises if kidney disease progresses

Page 6: Kidney disease diagnosis

GFR TestMeasure of how well the kidneys are

removing wastes and excess fluid from the blood

It may be calculated from the serum creatinine level using age, weight, gender and body size

Normal GFR- 90 or above A GFR below 60 is a sign that the kidneys are

not working properly. A GFR below 15 indicates that a treatment

for kidney failure, such as dialysis or a kidney transplant, will be needed.

Blood Urea Nitrogen testUrea nitrogen comes from the breakdown of

protein in the foods that animals eat. A normal BUN level is between 7 and 20. As

kidney function decreases, the BUN level rises.

Imaging Testsx-rays – size of the kidneys and for

kidney stonescystogram – a bladder x-rayvoiding cystourethrogram – where the

bladder is x-rayed before and after urination

ultrasound – sound waves are ‘bounced’ off the kidneys to create a picture. Ultrasound may be used to check the size of the kidneys. Kidney stones and blood vessel blockages may be visible on ultrasound

Page 9: Kidney disease diagnosis

computed tomography (CT) – x-rays and digital computer technology are used to create an image of the urinary tract, including the kidneys

magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) – a strong magnetic field and radio waves are used to create a three-dimensional image of the urinary tract, including the kidneys

Biopsy  Small piece of tissue is taken for testing in a laboratory. Biopsies used in the investigation of kidney disease may include:Kidney biopsyBladder biopsy

Urine Test UrinalysisUrine ProteinMicroalbuminuriaCreatinine Clearance

Page 12: Kidney disease diagnosis

UrinalysisMicroscopic examination of a urine sample Dipstick test-chemically treated strip, which

is dipped into a urine sample.

Page 13: Kidney disease diagnosis

Urine ProteinIt includes :- Albumin specific dipstickQuantitative measurement of albumin-to-

creatinine ratio

Page 14: Kidney disease diagnosis

MicroalbuminuriaMore sensitive dipstick test, which can detect a tiny amount of protein called albumin in the urine.

Page 15: Kidney disease diagnosis

Creatinine ClearanceA creatinine clearance test compares the

creatinine in a 24-hour sample of urine to the creatinine level in animal’s blood to show how much blood the kidneys are filtering out each minute.
