What else can I help you with?
What is the presence of the protein albumin in the urine and is a sign of impaired kidney function?
Albuminuria
What is the function of a creatinine test?
A creatinine test is used to measure the level of creatinine in the blood to assess kidney function. Creatinine is a waste product produced by muscles, so higher levels may indicate impaired kidney function. This test is often used to monitor those with known kidney disease and to evaluate overall kidney health.
What kidney disease is inherited and the cysts slowly reduce the kidney function and eventually leads to kidney failure?
The condition known as polycystic kidney disease is inherited and the cysts slowly reduce kidney function and leads to kidney failure. the condition can also effect the liver and pancreas.
Which urine condition as detected by urinalysis is an indication of impaired kidney function?
albuminuria - presence of protein albumin
Creatinine is measured as in indicator for what?
Creatinine is measured as an indicator of kidney function. It is a waste product produced by muscles and filtered out by the kidneys. Elevated levels of creatinine in the blood can be a sign of impaired kidney function.
Which blood test is a rough indicator of kidney function?
blood urea nitrogen The inulin test gives a good indication of the glomular filtration rate, a basic measure of kidney function.
Which blood test is rough indicator of kidney function?
blood urea nitrogen The inulin test gives a good indication of the glomular filtration rate, a basic measure of kidney function.
Does cmp test creatinine?
Yes, the creatinine level is tested in a comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) to evaluate kidney function and overall health. Elevated levels of creatinine may indicate impaired kidney function.
Is kidney failure and kidney insufficiency mean the same thing?
Kidney failure is an acute stage, and can often be a secondary complication to another condition or situation, such as from a reaction to medication or from dehydration. Chronic kidney disease is a chronic illness. Acute kidney failure has a good chance of being 100% reversible if caught early. Chronic kidney disease is manageable with dialysis, but is not reversible.
What is the medical term meaning kidney disease that causes red blood cells and proteins to leak into the urine?
The medical term for kidney disease that causes red blood cells and proteins to leak into the urine is called glomerulonephritis. This condition involves inflammation of the kidney's filtering units, known as glomeruli, which can lead to impaired kidney function and leakage of blood and proteins into the urine. Treatment aims to reduce inflammation and preserve kidney function.
What is a condition called in which the kidneys slowly lose their ability to function?
Chronic kidney (renal) failure.
Who is Hemodialysis treatment good for?
Hemodialysis treatment may be required to reduce serum potassium levels in hyperkalemic patients with impaired kidney function
