INVESTIGATIONS FOR KIDNEY DISEASES These include biochemical, microbiologic, immunologic, histopathologic and radiologic investigations. A. BIOCHEMICAL INVESTIGATIONS: Include the examination of urine, tests for kidney functions, microbiologic and immunologic tests. I. URINE EXAMINATION: Simple urinalysis and blood pressure measurement could be a valuable method for screening for renal diseases. However, negative urinalysis does not exclude renal disease. Urinalysis is an essential part of physical examination for kidney disease. The urine should be fresh and examined for the following: 1. Physical characteristics: these include examination for colour, odour, transparency, froth and foreign materials. Normal colour of urine is amber yellow due to the pigment urochrome, it could be diluted or concentrated according to the patient hydration status and the diluting and concentrating capacity of the kidney. A red coloured urine is seen mainly with haematuria, hemoglobinuria which could be differentiated by microscopic examination which can demonstrate RBC's in cases of haematuria but not in cases of haemoglobinuria. A milky urine is seen in chyluria (lymph in urine). Turbid urine is seen with pyuria or presence of salts (phosphate, urate or oxalates). Cloudy and offensive urine could be seen with infection. Abnormal foreign bodies seen in urine are for example gravels or sloughed renal papillae. 2. Dip-stick test: These are plastic strips, attached to it are pieces of paper impregnated with different enzymes. Each piece contains an enzyme which reacts specifically with certain urine chemicals (e.g. glucose, albumin, acetone, H+, nitrite, haemoglobin, etc.). According to the concentration of the chemical tested, a certain change in colour occurs (0, 1+, 2+, 3+, 4+). By Dip-Stick we can semiquantitatively determine proteinuria (mainly albumin), haemoglobin (haematuria or haemoglobinuria), nitrites (when positive means urinary infection), pH (acidic or alkaline urine), glucose (glucosuria).
