Doctors often diagnose kidney infections based on signs and symptoms, such as fever and back pain. If your doctor suspects you have a kidney infection, you may be asked to provide a urine sample to test for bacteria, blood or pus is in your urine.
The only way to know if you have kidney disease is to get tested. The sooner kidney disease is found, the sooner you can take steps to begin treatment and keep your kidneys healthier longer. How do you check for CKD? A blood test and a urine test are used to find kidney disease. Because you are at risk, you should get these tests regularly: GFR - A blood test measures how much blood your kidneys filter each minute, which is known as your glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Urine Albumin - A urine test checks for albumin in your urine. Albumin is a protein that can pass into the urine when the filters in the kidneys are damaged.
