If a female is diagnose with kidney problems and has to do dialysis does that person also get checked for any other disease?

Diagnosis First: The cause of the renal failure needs to be determined. For example, hypertension. This will lead the physician to evaluate other organs i.e. Heart, eyes for damage.
