Common testing
Kidney care often relies on a combination of blood work, urine testing, blood pressure monitoring, and imaging when needed. These help providers understand how the kidneys are functioning and whether there are signs of inflammation, obstruction, protein loss, or electrolyte imbalance.
- Blood tests such as creatinine and electrolyte panels
- Urine testing for protein, blood, and concentration changes
- Imaging such as ultrasound when structural detail is needed
- Trend review over time rather than one isolated result
