What is chronic kidney disease?
Chronic Kidney Diseases(CKD) refers to the chronic renal damage or the severe decline of GFR in more than 3 months.In early stage,the patients may not feel the obvious uncomfortable,which is the reason why many patients are diagnosed with renal failure when they are feel not well.
Diagnosis
The renal damage or the renal dysfunction is mainly characterized by 2 conditions.One is the abnormal blood,urine or the imageological examination.The other is the reducing GFR that is less than 60ml/(min•1.73m2) for more three months.
The Stage of CKD
According to the GFR,CKD can be divided into 5 stages.
stage description GFR ml/min/1.73m2
Ⅰ slight renal damage with the normal or increased GFR ≥90
Ⅱ renal damage with the slight decreased GFR 60~89
Ⅲ moderate decline of GFR 30~59
Ⅳ severe reduced GFR 15~29
Ⅴ ESRD <15
PS.GFR means the the glomerular filtration rate that is a index of renal function.
Test
Some routine tests are common to patients,like Blood Test,Creatinine,etc.Besides,our hospital provides other special tests for patients:
--Lymphocyte Subsets
--Urine Protein Electrophoresis
--Autoantibody Tests
--Toxins in Blood Serum
--Kidney Damage Tests
--Emergency Tests
--Diagnosis of Hematuria Position
--Lab Tests for Complement
Cause
