A member asked:

How probable is it to be misdiagnosed by doctors as having chronic kidney disease?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Misdiagnosis: Patients with chronic kidney disease (ckd)should see a nephrologist. To determine their stage, they need a 24 hour urine collection (24 uc) for creatinine clearance and protein. Once that is done, the stage of CKD the patient has is readily determined and therapy can commence. Did the patient in question have a 24 uc? Was the patient seen by a nephrologist?
