A member asked:
How can i know that i would have a kidney problem in the nearest future?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Kidney problems: You need to see a doctor for a urine analysis (ua) and blood tests. The ua will tell if you have blood (b) or protein (p) in urine. If you have either one, you will need other tests to see if your b is due to a UTI or other causes. If you have p you may have diabetes or some glomerular disease. Blood work will tell if you have any significant renal disease, diabetes, or glomerular diseases.
