Regular urine checku or urinalysis (or, laboratory test of urine) is the
simplest and cheapest way to find out if a person has a kidney disease.
“Early detection of kidney disease can be crtical,” said Dr. Hazel Yadao Oro,
Nephrologist. Kidney has compensation ability, which means that even some kidney
units are damaged, others can do more work such as filtrating, thus stopping
creatinine rising. However, the damage in the kidney has really takes place.
Only when the damage is nearly half, serum creatinine level will rise(More about High Creatinine Level). So some
times, when some patients come to see a doctor, the doctor tells him that he has
got into end stage of kidney disease. Creatinine is a metabolism waster from
muscles, which should be discharged out of the body trough renal glomerular
filtration membrane for in membrane there is pore. However, when kidney is
damaged, membrane will also damage, which leads to pore narrower so creatinine
will accumulate into the body.
Kidney disease is the 10th leading cause of death and fourth leading cause of
morbidity in the Philippines. Most at risk are people with high blood pressure,
diabetes or a family history of kidney disease such as polycystic kidney
disease, hereditary disease. The kidneys are two vital organs that keep the
blood clean and kidney disease can be detected through urinalysis.

How to test?
“If a person is diabetic or hypertensive, he or she should have their blood
sugar monitored and it is important also to check blood creatinine levels,” Oro
said. For example, when kidney is damage, in urine, there may appear protein,
red blood cells in the urine.
In Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, we have a Immunotherapyatic
examination both in blood test and urine test, which can help test early kidney
damage. Urinalysis usually contains test about protein, sugar, red blood cells,
white blood cells, bilirubin, urobilinogen, pH value, proportion, nitrite, and
so on. These tests can help us identify whether there are urinary tract lesions,
diabetes, and so on. Welcome to consult.
