Renal function test is a way of examining the condition of the kidneys, which most people have not done or heard of. For ordinary people, it is necessary to have a slight understanding of how to read the examination checklist, which also facilitates timely understanding of their physical condition. So how do you view the results of kidney function tests?
There are two indicators that need to be focused on in renal function tests, namely creatinine and urea. If the test results show a decrease, it is generally not treated at this time; If there is an increase, it means that the detoxification ability of the kidneys has decreased. In addition, it is necessary to check uric acid. If uric acid is too high, it may cause gout and also lead to uric acid nephropathy, which is a common cause of renal failure.
If the urea creatinine level increases, it may indicate kidney damage and should be taken seriously. Elevated uric acid may be caused by kidney problems or abnormal purine metabolism in the human body. If the patient's creatinine and urea levels are both elevated, it is best to undergo further examinations to confirm the diagnosis; If there is an increase in uric acid, it is first necessary to control the diet, and secondly, some uric acid lowering drugs can be used.
However, it should also be noted that when looking at the examination results, it is not enough to diagnose kidney injury solely based on one abnormality in the renal function test. It is also necessary to combine other relevant examinations such as the patient's condition, urine routine, urinary tract ultrasound, blood routine, etc. for comprehensive judgment.
