The definition of Chronic Kidney Disease( CKD ): Chronic Kidney Disease( CKD ) refer to the disease which meets one of the following terms.
a) Renal damage (abnormality of renal structure and function) time≥3 months, with or without GFR in decline. The features of renal damage include one or a few items as the following :(1) blood components or urine components abnormality; (2)CTMRI abnormality (3) Kidney Biopsy Examination abnormality.
GFR <60 ml/min/1.73 m2≥3 months, with or without the above renal damage.
The renal damage can be detected by the examination of blood, urine examination or the CTMRI instead of Kidney Biopsy Examination. Among them persistent proteinuria is an important index.
The examinations of Chronic Kidney Disease( CKD ) at the early stage include urine examination (mainly proteinuria/ hematuresis), blood pressure examination, GFR evaluation and CTMRI.
Proteinuria examination is a convenient, economical and direct method to detect CKD at the early stage. The persistent increase of proteinuria is a key index and has a close relation to the renal damage degree and the development of CKD.
Other indicators besides proteinuria. Besides proteinuria, the renal damage indicators also include those of urinary sediment and CTMRIabnormality.
The relationship between urine screening test and the early detection of Chronic Kidney Disease( CKD ). With no subjective symptoms at the 1st stage of Chronic Kidney Disease( CKD ), Urine Routine Examination will show the urinary abnormality, which urges patients to have the effective and timely treatment, reducing complication, the rate of developing into ESRD and death rate.
Hypertension is the cause of Chronic Kidney Disease( CKD ) as well as the common result of Chronic Kidney Disease( CKD ). Hypertension can have affect on the morbidity and fatality rate of cardiovascular attack. It is also the most important dangerous factor accelerating the development of Chronic Renal Failure.
