What is a Kidney Function Test with Urine Routine?
A Kidney Function Test Urine Routine is a test that looks at the urine. It looks at various aspects of kidney function. It looks at the levels of waste products in the urine, such as urea and creatinine. If these levels are high, then this can show that the kidneys are not working properly and further tests may be required. The Urine Routine looks at the colour and content of the urine. This can identify if there are proteins, glucose, blood, pus cells, crystals, etc., present and any other abnormalities. This will give the Doctor an overall picture of what may be going on with the kidneys.
Conditions Evaluated
Chronic Kidney Disease
The tests can assess how well your kidneys are working and could detect any issues with your kidneys that might be associated with chronic kidney disease. Other tests may also be required, such as measuring the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and a protein level in the urine.
Acute Kidney Injury
An abrupt decline in kidney function can be suggested by an increase in blood urea and blood creatinine. More clinical evaluations are needed for diagnosis.
Urinary Tract Infections
A urine routine exam may show the presence of pus cells, bacteria, and other components that can indicate a urinary tract infection. Other tests (such as a urine culture) may be suggested.
Proteinuria
Proteinuria is the excess protein in the urine. It may be related to kidney damage or any other health issues and might require additional tests.
Kidney Stones
Urine tests can detect the presence of crystals or blood, which can be linked to kidney stones. They may need to get imaging tests after that to confirm that they are there and where.
Diabetic Kidney Complications
As time passes, people with diabetes may present with complications due to the renal disorder. To check the health of the kidneys, other urine tests may be required to check for early leakage of protein.
