National Kidney Foundation Recommends :
1. Checking High BP and keeping the same in control. Lesser than 140/90
2. Urine Analysis : Test that checks sample of Urine for the amount of Protein, Blood(RBC & WBC).
Protein, RBC/WBC are not normally found in Urine, so having too much of these may mean Kidney disease.
Having Protein in Urine -> most likely is the earliest signs of kidney disease (especially people with diabetes)
Tests :
Protein to Creatinine Ratio : < 200 mg/gm per day is normal
Albumin to Creatinine Ratio : < 30 mg/gm per day is normal
3. Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) :
GFR is estimated from results of a serum (or blood) creatinine test. The GFR tells how well your kidneys are working to remove wastes from your blood.
A serum (or blood) creatinine test alone should not be used to check kidney function.
GFR < 60 is a possible chance of Kidney Disease
