Diagnosing Kidney Disease

Diagnosing Kidney Disease

Blood tests that may be required:

  • Blood urea and creatinine levels: if elevated, may indicate kidney dysfunction.
  • Blood electrolyte levels: sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus may be abnormal with different kidney problems.
  • Blood bicarbonate level: may be high or low with different conditions; typically low in the setting of CKD.
  • Hemoglobin: may be low in the setting of CKD.
  • Parathyroid hormone level: typically elevated in the setting of CKD.
Urine tests:
  • Urine routine – what is spilling into the urine ex. Red blood cells, white blood cells, protein; as well as the urine pH level and concentration
  • Urine protein: creatinine ratio – estimation of the amount of protein being lost in urine
  • 24hr urine collection for protein – quantification of the amount of protein being lost in urine
  • 24hr Creatinine Clearance – requires 24hr urine collection and a blood sample; gives us further understanding of the function of the kidneys
  • Urine electrolyte measurements – may be done as 24hr urine collection or from a one time sample of urine in evaluation of electrolyte abnormalities or as part of kidney stone work-up.
Scans:
  • Ultrasound of the abdomen and pelvis: provides information about the structure of the kidneys and urinary system. Can be used to determine if there is urinary retention as well.
  • CT scan: more detailed information of the kidneys and urinary system.
  • MRI: rarely required but used in specific cases.
  • Nuclear Medicine Scans: used to assess overall kidney function, difference in function between the kidneys, obstruction.
Kidney biopsy:
  • Procedure that involves ultrasound scanning to take a small piece with the use of a biopsy needle.

I would have given 10 stars to Dr Pallavi. Both me and my wife have been patients of Dr. Pallavi for more than 6 years now. She supported us throughout—before, during, and after our transplant. Dr. Pallavi has been much more than a doctor to both of us, probably a "health mentor" through all these years. While Dr. is excellent from a clinical standpoint, more impressive is her ability to listen to the patient and engage in a very pleasant and positive conversation to ensure that the (already tense) patient is at ease. I have personally seen her nephrology department grow in the hospital. All the best, Doc.............you are doing a wonderful job.
